A Piece of You

January 21, 2009 at 5:57 pm (Uncategorized)

I caught your scent this morning –

Just a whiff, a lingering piece

Of you in my bedclothes.

It was not Your cologne which,

Heady, intoxicates me so.

Rather, it was You, your

Masculine, human, sweaty

Musk: it, now familiar, dear,

Now fading, whispered of

Secrets lost to stolid walls –

Private, tender moments: when I

Cried damp, salty tears on

Your bare chest and surprised e’en

Myself with honesty; when, in

The dark, we talked about

Our Future – together; when,

In the dark, your lips pressed against

Mine, your arms encompassed

Me, and grasping, reaching, we

Discovered together ourselves.

With you, Love, I am me.
