Perhaps it’s all you need
lossgriefnaturecitypoliticsmemory
Perhaps it’s all you need
It is warm,
The touch.
Stimulating and familiar,
A caress
With one finger tip,
Tracing the contours.
Skin tight
Finely covered
Golden down,
Barely visible,
Standing to attention.
Every inch
So well remembered.
Each line
Telling its own story.
The tiny mole
On her right eye lid.
There and then
Gone,
In the blink of an eye.
Blue-green and yellow,
Limpid swirls,
Coalescing,
Molten by moonlight,
Feline and mysterious,
Sad and glorious,
Deeper than
I have ever fallen.
They capture my soul
And falling
Is an endless pastime.
Moved by her presence,
A restless heart
At peace,
Thankful to be found.
No strings and yet,
Securely attached,
A perfect fit,
Held together,
My love
And hers.
Timeless.
