Because of you
my spirit knows
what love is
in your absence
my dayreams smile
in thoughts
of your

raspy whispers
resonating in my ear
as they collide with the tendermost
secret part of my soul

Because of you
my body
breaks

              o
                  w
                     n
into an intimate solo
canvassing the footprints you left
remnants of our past expedition

and...
because of you
my appetite yearns for your touch
again
sending a glorious mandate
echoing your last song
 to come
and penetrate
these desirous commandments
of my silent furnace
to
inflame the madness
of each impulse
of my love
for you!
