The morning mist has risen me
in the heat of you.
Your hands awaken me.
Their lightness of touch brushing me
ever so gently, that my mind
has stepped back in time
remembering how you use to suspend me
in your stream of words,
your whispered kisses,
your body nudging against mine,
until I would succumb to the rhythm
of your breathing.

Each shadow on the wall
would embrace our movements
casting a mirrored image,
becoming voyeurs to ourselves.

I live confined, my feelings caged,
bounded by the afterthoughts of you
that cuff me in the night.
Do my visions distort the memory
or does my memory distort the visions of you,
pressing your want against my desire
and these scribblings that cover the truth,
the only way to have relief.

I reinforce myself, assuage my pain,
satisfy myself this way, all too often,
with the hush of emptiness
arousing the passions in me.
I am easily fired up, one glance,
one touch against my cheek,
one soft kiss turned hardened upon my lips,
yes, that will do it, will provoke
the hidden in me,
the shyness to explode,
a near chemical reaction to you,
if and when.

So today, again,I live in the myst of you,
waiting to burst forth in the Springtime of my life.

'tis springtime for you
blossom forth in your beauty

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
