• passionately yours

  clearing the decks of two complex lives,
  can take a bit of doing---
  but i needed you last night
  needed you pressed to my skin,
  intimate intensity.
  I needed to taste the roses
  inked to you,
  to feel your fingers in my hair,
  to be every bit a woman
  to your ever bit a man,
  and it amazes me
  when lives fall away with clothing,
  and you say my name
  like the only prayer you can recall,
  open your arms
  and bring me to a place
  where I am as always
  passionately yours.
