Love is . . . .

I feel you,
Know you are there,
Pressing close,
Behind me.
Yes.
I want you.
Please feel me,
Moving into your aura.
Be aware.
I want you to touch me.
There,
That’s it.
No words!
Feel my needs,
And love me!
Time to turn,
Strobe reflected,
Touching you.
Not rushed.
Taking time.
Until,
We meet,
And move,
Together.
Adagio pulsings,
Building,
Thrusting,
To crescendo.
And engulfing.
Break the silence.
Yes my love,
I am with you.
Melt,
To warmth,
And stillness,
Gentle caress,
And You.
Such is life.

(1986)
