To My Love
Dreams,
Forgotten in a sea of agony
Remembered in waves of regret
And the terror of letting go
Love,
Given freely in the warmth of a kiss
Taken quickly in anticipation
Of pain promised to pass
Her warmth surrounds me
Her strength becomes my own
Her skin holds the memory
Of the familiar touch of my hand
Her lips
Wet and wanting
Her eyes
Open and waiting
Her arms
Accepting and mournful
Her body
Needful and forgiving
Lust,
A wishful gift of life
Unable to be ignored or pushed away
As we lay together
Dreams,
Forgotten in the blanket of night
Remembered in the light of day
Increasing the terror of letting go
