To My Beloved....A Letter Poem

To My Beloved

We’ve been through hell
	hell and back again, really,
			To a new beginning
	                                    a fresh start, relearning
		who we are,
			what we want, dream, desire.
		Lovers, reuniting
			Savoring the long anticipated flavors,
				                            textures, scents of intimacy
			Remembering all the secret places
				pausing, lingering, slow and deliberate
					savoring, craving, flesh quivering
					connecting like never before,
		Made all the more bittersweet
				knowing your health is deteriorating
			wondering how long I have 
				to store these precious moments
		I don’t want to lose you again
		so I savor your every touch
		    your intrepid gaze, your jaunty smile,
         		            your twinkling eyes
			your laugh, your humor, your kiss
				So, if I seem a bit clingy, or
			               	        loiter too long over a parting embrace
					forgive me,
					    indulge me,
					        love me,
				Just hold me,
				     work your magic 
					and enchant me...
								
		                                                 I am yours forever.
