What Do I Miss
You have asked
what it is I miss
about you
most of all.
Without a shadow of doubt
I know my answers.
Your blue eyes
have wrapped me in dreams,
lifted me
and held me
in the warmest embraces
I have ever known.
In those eyes
I have touched the stars
and floated
on the winds
to the edge of forever
while held in your gaze.
Your strong hands
hold such tenderness,
with one touch
I tremble,
and yet I feel more secure
than anywhere else.
In those hands
I’ve been transported,
like petals
on the breeze,
floating upwards, weightlessly
to dance on the clouds.
And your lips
that hold the power
to melt me
instantly
and send me twirling in space
with the slightest touch
With all these
you fade out the world.
Nothing else
exists but
the time and space between us
in eternity.
