i close my eyes
and see you clearly:
soft brown hair gently tousled over
olive skin and emerald soul portals,
fencepost teeth hidden
by slightly parted lips
in peaceful sleep
warm trails
traced by tongue and fingertips
tingle with the passion
of your touch;
i can still feel your heartbeat:
a steady pulse beside my breast,
its Braille signal shows
the depth of your devotion
in the dark
my ears echo laughter and love,
resounding sweet words
in tantric whispers
the scent of you consumes me,
invites me to indulge myself in memories
of our night...
your musk still fresh
upon my hands,
my hair,
my heart...
a sensory obsession:
i long for you
in me
