All I Have Left
All I Have Left
(Is What You Left Behind)
By Gayle Jeanine Haven©
What I have left
Is a memory
Of the kiss I always wanted
Accompanied
By the touch of a man’s hand
Worn by sun and work
Gentled
By the feel of a woman’s cheek
That was mine.
What I have left
Is the feeling
Of a man’s breath that catches
And holds
To be exhaled in a slow heated rush
To mingle with mine
Against
Joined lower lips
That become a resting place
For a moment
Speaking again and again
In silent insistent kisses
That wanted mine.
All I have left
Is the whisper
Of what you
left behind.
