Out of a swirl of nonsensical scenes jumbled through my dreamscape a man with no face planted a deep kiss on my lips his urgency knocked me out of my sheets in the middle of the dark aware only of that aching gap sitting inside me filled for a moment by a shadow man.
In the years after the intense initial deep mourning was over for my husband of nearly 20 years and the realization that I still had love to give and share , came this poem outlining my inner craving for another partner.
