Love  me  now.....
so my memory of your
body will last forever,
our souls hinged and
intertwined
          as one.

Love me slowly.......as I know
no other way and stay as long
as you like because I'm not
going anywhere and I want
only you. So love me harder
because I want to remember this
night always and this will give
me  a  love  to  write about for
                            days  to come.

I want to be able to
still  feel   my   lips
burning  against  yours,
and ******* the air from
your lungs as my touch
lingers over  your  body
and the dark echo of my
voice resonates  deep  in
your   mind,  my  hands
washing  over   you  like
                         moonlight.
I  am  not here... and  yet
      I am everywhere and
                 so close to you.
