A Day Will Come
Insulated in layers of clothing
I run from house to car
from car to house
The weather stings as it contacts
my skin
I long for you friend
You taunt me during the winter
playing hide and seek with my feelings
When you come to me
the air so frigid
my pleasure evaporates
but I look
and I watch
and I wait
A day will soon come when
you will entice me to you
I will watch as you amuse yourself
On the deck with shadow puppets
and I will come to you
I know now as I step into you
I will be filled with desire
for your warmth
I will shed my layers and
let my skin bask in your glory
The glow of your love will tend
to every part of me
I have longed for you
Satisfy this craving that has
Sustained me all these many months
Bathe me that I might savor
this time with you
and indulge in the ecstasy
of our time together
