I open my eyes,
Darkness floods my senses.
Filling my mouth, my ears, my nose
Until it and I become one
A fusion of doubt and insecurity.
But its ok, I’m ok.
A stretch of my fingers and you are there,
My skin dances at this tiny contact
Warmth spreads from your skin to mine.
I am complete.
Light and dark wrestle within me,
I smile as your warmth swarms through.
I am cleansed.
My heart flutters, my lungs expand,
I breath in your smell.
A rustle of a pillow, sleepily, you turn towards me.
“ Are you ok my love?”
My face pressed against your chest I smile.
“Always ,with you.”
A sigh of relief
“Always.”
