I want you

Soft and subtle like a baby’s breath 

Your body in motion 

My thoughts racing just to think of you

Only of you

Hours like days pass as slow as years 

Waiting 

I can’t sleep

My dreams betraying me

Calling to you as my body trembles 

Across the room or across the universe 

I want you

~

Your eyes gaze through me

Into our bed 

Tossing and turning in the sheets

Waves like an ocean of passion consuming us

Drawing you close

You pulling me in

Under a blanket 

Like so many stars in the nights sky

Without a moon

and I hear you whispering 

I want you
