In the Stillness

Since last passed my lips
The smell and taste of him
Beckons within seconds
My craving beginning
Almost the moment
He kisses me goodbye

A t shirt he pulls over
His body now
Denied me
My heart beats so quickly
I want him again
I want him so much I cry

He kisses me 
The after kiss
It means no more
For now
This latest love induced haze
I beg will see me through the day


His love 
And my need of him
Slowly edges into my veins
My heart is lost
My skin soaking up every last wet kiss drop
I know this won't ever go away

The state of passion-induced euphoria can linger for a long time. Love the way you conveyed your longing here, Jo. Hope you are doing well with your book. Love, Carolyn
