affection

affection

A Poem by Kees Kapteyn

 

I look at you and am ignited,

Aroused.

Thoughts fall on a delicious memory,

The lingering sense of you.

My mind returns to that moment and energy

Radiates through me;

heat and light.

You are a sovereign system inside me,

like my heartbeat,

like my breathing.

My desire is the wind against me,

The sky,

breadth and depth,

The ocean shifting and moving my body,

rising and falling, swaying and swinging.

I'm immersed in thoughts of you,

Moulded by impressions so as to be liquid and shapeless.

You are gravity, I am so yours.

Prism of my senses,

You unite all elements of my body,

Bring them into focus

Then make them brilliant.
