The Spell of My Absence


Each minute
creates another gift
soft hands mapping
a course to be trailed
over and again
Thirsty lungs swell
by the score
another entry made
in the tally of ''often kisses''
How will it be
my love
when the four stars
carry me away
Will you sit silent
in the spell of my absence
And with this new birth
to your fingertips
find a greater beauty
than ever known before

my fingers trace the path
from lips to cheek to hair
and ... heart remembers
the heat ... it lingers still ...
sheets, once tangled 'round two
now envelope me in the tenderness
of a long awaited love
vanilla candles, unlit, somehow still
reflect my unleashing, within your arms
and though, four stars have taken flight,
I only need to close my eyes ... inhale the
dew drops left by "often kisses" and
I am there ... once more.
