I hug myself
in your absence
spending time
by the fireplace
brings back your
heat…
your love is
white hot dancing inside
the burning lights
I look closer
I see your eyes
feel them penetrate
the secret place
I didn’t know existed
until
you touched it
deep
your face appears
love ~ laced &
enraptured
as you explore
the downy folds
of my stronghold…
eyes closed
I rehearse the gentle
command of your
movements… the strong
tender press of
your hands...
remember our words
and hug myself
in your absence
