Every kiss you gracefully gift me
brings forth butterflies
the monarchs which first
came to my acquaintance
October 31, 2009

Every time you walk from me
my body loses something
is not something that i can
explain although its not something easily forgotten
every time I retreat from your side
a piece of me goes missing
i feel it itching, burning
somewhere deep inside me

Every time you hold tighter
my body reacts the same
my knees go weak
my heart skips beats
while my skin aches for yours

every time i lay in bed
without the gift of slumber
i think of your voice
and sleep seems to take me
