Do you realise how I smile when your words come into play?
It feels as if He sent you as a reminder in my way.
Through the tears and aches of my weary frame
Your words of “please? Just you and me?” render me tame.

We may not talk for years and ages,
Perhaps only a joke or two between our cages.
But when your white dove drops your letter by my door
I can’t help but believe I feel the sea breeze by the seashore.

I put my words on paper
To explain my tears.
I pour my heart on paper
To explain the sadness.

But the day you asked me,
"write me a poem".
I had nothing.
For when I look at you,
My words are gone.

Bleary. Tired.
I want to feel you
Wrap around me tightly.
I want to feel your heavy arms
Press against the skin of my torso
And your hushing breath against my ear.
Wipe away my tears and tell me that I’ve conquered
The world; tell me that I can relax in our sheets and
That I may close my eyes. Protect me from the
Monsters that strive to pull me down.
Entangle your fingers with mine;
Kiss my temple and say that
For my next mission,
All I need to do is
To feel you.
