Your Warm Body

Passion other than human touch

Until that time

Again or in a dream,

Your soothing sounds

I will hear

In the most turbulent times

I’ll be stronger, as

Your song plays in my ear

 

The shine of the moon

Reflected

As silk, on you last night

As you came closer,

You held my gaze

As you surged with all your might

 

As if to ask me

Here to stay,

To lay down by your side

Not to ever go away,

Rather here, in your tide

To hide

 

This morning you receded

When you knew I had to leave,

And then I heard your sadness,

As you cried with crashing grief

 

I went back to say good bye again,

When in fact it was for me,

Wanting to be near you,

Your warm body

Once more

To see

 

I tried to hold you

As you kissed my toes,

But you rolled away

You came back, caressed me,

Left again

As I sunk inside with pain

 

To live as one with you,

For now it just can’t be

But your memory will light

The darkest days I see

The warmth I felt

While floating together,

Like new birth, I can’t let go

Know that I’ll come back to you,

My sensuous Gulf
