Petra Mallett Poet Free verse

Stolen Moments

Stolen moments suspend me in time.
Moments with you I seek to find.
Reviving my breath,
Sustaining my soul:
And once again I am whole.
	
Whispered fantasies tease my mind
Vibrant on the wings of faith:
Senses waken; desire consumes
Craving yet another taste ~
For one word spoken:
To engage in just one look
To savor one more touch.

And in the anticipation of reckoning
Relinquished by the night,
My heart aches from the intensity of rapture...
Calling me home.
