I look toward the heavens
on this star-clustered night
her essence is there
for me to feel
captivating me although so far away
she baths
among twinkling stars
smelling of bouquets of sweet
smelling flowers
I am spellbound to say the least
on this wintry winters air
but she emits
heat from the stars which
warms my body and my essence
she summons me
and . . . tasting the heat from her lips
I am filled
with imaginary delights
she leaves her bath among the stars
to dry off
within the glow of the moon
and conjures up within me
delights untold

We often find the essence of a loved one, past or present, in all things we see.

Very nice
