poetry .. Real

Real

Lying here entwined with you

I am overwhelmed

Inhaling the scent of you

Absorbing the warmth of you

Swimming in the gentle roar of you breathing

Adoring the soft touch of your fingers

Feeling your skin next to mine

Desire is sated

And reborn in every touch

Passion explodes

And rekindles in every kiss

Want is emptied out

And filled in every caress

I know love is a feeling

I know it is supposed to be intangible

I also know that I feel it against me

I smell it

I taste it

I am surrounded by it

I hear it

I see it sparkling in your eyes

And feel it sparkling in mine

My love for you

Exists in all of my senses

And while it may be indescribable

Well beyond the words of my lips

I know it when it comes to me

I am carried away by its scent

I am blinded by its brilliance

My heart pounds in rhythm

To the sound of its beat

My lips savor the taste

Long after our lips have parted

My fingers remember

The feel of it beneath them

My love

Your love

Our love

Real
