Today

by Kimberly M. Thompson

I’m missing you today

There have been glimpses of your smile...the intent stare of your eyes...

     the windows of your soul

The electric stimulation of your touch...like a therapy session now in

     progress

A touch that reduces me into liquidity

 

I’m missing you today

Thinking of your early morning runs and pressing those familiar buttons

     which will lead you directly to me

There’s a softness, a gentle breeze that calls me deeper than your words 

     express

As though a shell of the sea is placed to my ear and the imaginary rush of the

     ocean flows into my canal

Calling me...Calling me...Calling me

 

I’m missing you today

A quiet strength yet vulnerable heart that you guard with the essence of you

Your softness gives me a gentle place to land

Like the down of a feather escaping from flight...landing perfectly

     balanced on three exquisitely pointed blades of grass

 

When I’m missing you like this

I am craving your presence like a drug…needing an intravenous fix

     wanting to feel the rush

These pieces of dreams dance behind my closed eyes

I just want to reach out and touch you

Virtual reality

 

I’m missing you today

Just beyond my fingertips you keep a reservoir waiting for me

You’re barely there...I see your silhouette in the mist

     shrouded in mystery beckoning me...to come

And I will
