At Day's End

I move at a snail's pace
wondering how to light that fire under me
as the evening sets and my thoughts turn to
remnants of my day.

I ease my body into the warmth, slightly heated
to take the measure of my aches away
as I lift the cloud that steams before me,
pretending to view the shape of you.

"You take my breath away" even before that was written,
the nearness of you always stirring
my mood for writing, blushing my thoughts,
burnishing a thrill to a mind waiting until...

You are my distraction from need,
my leisure-time activity and "a study in contradictions"
to anyone who is lucky enough to get to know you.

You may be my yesterdays, and only of my thoughts today,
but inside I know, you will always be my tomorrows,
if not in actuality, then always in my mind's escapades.

Now that's a heart-ache if I ever read one...
well done, me friend.

Wonderfully expressed Maureen , because I know how this feels ......
