Unlove

Unlove.

Would you unbreak
My wayward heart?
Untwist the tangled veins
Frozen with velvet memories
Of your golden gaze?

Would you unsway
My trembling soul?
Unheat the fire 
Raging within, trapped
in ecstasy's shattering claim?

Would you, oh would you unlook
That first stormy glance?
The one that bound me
To eternity and beyond
That made me throw fate to chance?

Would you? Oh say you would...
Free my tempestuous breath
Held fast in the memory of 
Your heavenly arms
And let me revel

Once again, oh just once, 
In the roughness of your lips.

Till you unlove me, too soon
