enemies and lovers

the air is ravaged
by mysteries
that stretch taut and silent
between the edges of my skin and yours
like silent triggers
waiting to incinerate
swallowing up this air
in great hungry gulps of heat
until there is nothing left
but edge on edge
and a magnetic sort of peace
while we give the answers
to these mysteries
in mouth-to-mouth communication
and turn the keys
to keep all of this silent
we wrap the air around us both
and tie it tight with sound

"mouth-to-mouth communication". slight innuendo...lol...i never thought of conflict like that. i guess love is when you decide a disagreement is a chance to kiss and make up. altho i dont quite understand the title. is there that much of a difference between the two? - besides the obvious, of course.

just a slight innuendo yes.
ha.
but also that they could be defined as both.
lovers. and enemies.
they strive against each other and with each other. finding peace and friction together...
