the way
you say my name
like an oath,
whispered pray'r

how you
force me
to look straight
into your eyes
and not be afraid

the way you
touch me, lightly,
gently, as though
i might break,
i won't, you know

soft, warm
feathery, how
you place a kiss
on my cheek
carefully, like
a breeze

your scent
engulfs me
enslaves me
to someone
almost drowning,
it's like
coming up for air. . .

i miss you,
i miss everything about you. . .

hurry home please
