I lay my face against thine own
here captured within the moment
within the gentle indentation...
soft cotton kisses taken
freely and frequently
from pillow puffed lips
as traces of your unique scent remain
to ease your absence
my fingers playfully tease your hair
left as if a love token
amongst the yet warm creases
of your immaterial form
I smile with eyes now wet
yet shed no tears
for sadness alludes me in these moments
of solitary joy
for you are not gone from me
as long as I can hold you close
as I have done so many nights
with hewed hands
that caress with such tendeness
your features
here captured forever in my heart.
