I See You

I see the joy

of you smile

and smile myself

I see the glint

in your eye

And know

you see mine

I feel the ache

in your wanting

For I know

my own wants

I feel the softness

in your surrender

and the grace

you bring

I feel the heat

in the closeness

we both imagine

The heated nights

where sleep

doesn’t come

and love collides with lust

in a frenzy of fingers

until release

is found

and you name

peppers the air
