Lovers dream of one more embrace.<br />One more kiss.<br />One act of love, no matter how small.<br />For in loving, lover and beloved<br />emptied themselves.<br />Now, <br />they look for their oasis<br />like men engulfed in flames.<br />Even filled to the brim, <br />they will never satiate. <br />For they continue to leak, these<br />cracked vessels.<br />How else did love seep through?
