~inspired by a jazz piece "Gently Go" ~
as you go;
leave your heart
beside the door
your scent
upon bare breasts
still tender/warm
from
the heat of you
(we own this love)
leave your heart
beside the door
and gentle hand &
fingerprints
on thighs, hips &
parted lips
still quaking
from
the press of you
(but not each other)
leave your heart
beside the door
and liquid trails
of joy streaming
from closed eyelids
still relishing
the sight of you
(we own this love)
leave your heart
beside the door
and aching, lifeless,
yearning arms
that only want
to cradle YOU
(but not each other)
as you go
just leave your heart
beside the door
and a knowing smile
as I recline,
you gave me yours
I gave you mine...
(we own this!)
