I Reach For You

Fingers tantalize like whispers Heated breaths upon supple skin Dancing in softness parallel to feathers Aimlessly tossed by the wind Enticing me with lips as they play Like strings drawn with rosined bow A skillful loving melodic sway Sung quietly in a lovers moan Emotion piques with subtle kiss Consumed like brazen embers In the rush of a restless wish Desire settles as sunken treasure When sleepy eyed I reach for you Your pillow untouched and cold Leaving me with only your alluring scent As if fragrance without touch could console Return me now to dreams allure Where your touch has not departed In your manly frame I rest secure Your whispers of love never falter Your present warmth I miss tonight Though I know you'll return tomorrow Still the hours from now till then Exaggerate with lonesome sorrow Sleepless now my heart proposed I rise to pass old father time To feel you nearer I wear your clothes Intoxicated in the knowing that your mine As longing lingers in passions extreme Our duo of comfort reduced to one Where shirt prodigious and slight convene Willing emptiness inside to be shunned Back between our sheets I lay And pray for sleep to come In dreams your instrument each touch replayed Exciting awe in my heart as you strum
