Touch

I touch
your skin 
& feel the warmth
of tender cheek on cheek,
your beauty surrounds me 
soft & warm, 
tenderly
I reach,
through darkness fingers grasp at dream,
through dream a memory flows, 
on wave
 of happiness I am one, 
adrift
from sweet, thy flesh, 
to press once more my heart 
against the beat of missing bliss. 
Free spirit
bound
by love's choice bond,
in bond I bind to thee,  
to feel blood flow through loving vein 
within you
& in me.
I touch.
