Loves Understanding

I crave a lover

that understands

the passion

that fires beneath

the surface of my skin

from the trace of

a single finger

carrying emotion

I crave something

real in this

world of dreams

I need hands

lips

eyes

that can offer

peace and stillness

to my restless soul

and aching heart

You held me

without ever

having met me

You touched me

without holding my hand

You reached me

to a depth I’ve never even felt

You melted me

without ever

holding my gaze

Take the best of me

you deserve

the rest of me

Take my tender heart

for love is all

that’s left of me

As I lay down to sleep

with my lover in my mind

my eyes were closed

almost on the point of sleep

when I heard her whisper

“It’s not sex I need

it’s soul sex

I need to feel

that connection,

that touch

that presence

love that heals

from the inside out

the one I will

remember for

the rest of my life

It’s the poetry

of you moving

in and out of me

vibrating within

my naked soul

Touch me there

lover...”

I opened my eyes

smiled

wrapped her in my arms

Holding her close

I whispered

“Let me write

and speak my words

only to you”
