you sigh
you breathe
hope
compassion
love
into a world
aching for them all
the colors of your moods
blend into healing white
every smile
every laugh
wash over the pains of the past
and they fall away
the sweet scents of jasmine
lavender
fill my mind with you
joy
in the gentle wake of your steps
just one touch
my being is still
awaiting the next touch
and the next
you fall upon me like rose petals
I taste the pleasure in your lips
and drown in your sweet rain
I am the sands along the shore
transformed
in wave after wave of your love
and as the sun leaves the day
to surrender to the night
I am lifted up
into the beauty of your dreams
that joyously play
with my own in the night
still, I long for the morning
to feel your breath
and I breathe again
