Did you feel the whisper
I sent it with a gentle caress
of these lips almost brushing up
rushing up against yours

The sounds of me enlightened
by a single strand of your ether
parfume soaking through my skin
mingling with this bloodstream
arriving inside the sanctuary of thought
where a vision of you measures
the width
the breadth
of my excursion into a reality of fantasy
when a touch leaves an indelible tremor
one that skips across five beats
to each breath
and I'm found wanting
in every aspect I claim as my essence
and your ghost lingers inside
every corridor
haunts
every doorway
with a vulnerable tenderness
none should know
and I'm the precious few
partially invited to show
a greater sensation
to being whole
