Incense

Incense lingers on your skin as you pull me to you

making me forget all of my problems for one brief second.

I inhale deeply

fleeting scenes of our past lives float by.

We were happy once.

We ruled once in a desert land where the darkness resides.

Our skin was bronzed

our muscles toned

our blood pure.

We were meant for each other.

We were molded from the same firey pit.

We have endured the same tribulations.

We will rule once again.

The land craves our power

longs for our lust and love.
