No ~Strings~ Attached

Have no idea why I chose the above
Just heard it, liked it and so
Thought it would make an interesting name
But for a poem, about what, I don't know.

The last few days, rough, by all accounts
And I haven't handled them well.
Been moody and tense, tearful and a crab
Cancer is my sign, must tell.

So decided this evening, to just settle back,
Bathe in bubbles, pleasant thoughts and dreams.
Then closed my eyes, felt the mind's eye touch
~~Sighing, so real it all seems.

I heard your ~whisper in the heated air
Felt your breath upon my skin.
Could sense the nearness of your face
As your ~smile~ just brushed my chin.

When your lips had sought to comfort mine
As they warmed and gently pressed.
The thrill that sent me spiraling then
Was "desire", I must confess.

It's You, I look for in my dreams
Both day and night time, too.
My thoughts, my moves, my words, my breath
Are controlled, by what you do.

No strings attached, is appropriate now
It fits here, like a glove.
For always, in these mind's eye dreams
What is real, is not real love.

But warmth and just a little touch
Of calm and peace it brings
To  have these feelings of needing you
And of words you sometimes sing.

So very ~~softly smiling now
Am I, when holding thoughts
Of you, and all you mean to me
In my heart, where you are caught.

Hi Maureen,
No strings eh? I see many many strings in this poem that you have spun. Very hard to get out of this web! Again, what can I say except excellence!
