You said to look at me, and I did

I saw more than just a person

I opened my eyes to see…

Strength and Frailty

Endurance and Fatigue

Success and Failure

I saw a reflection of me,

I saw that my past brought me to this present

Not the now, but more of a gift

I looked as you said “This is who I am”

You said to listen to me, and I did

I heard more than words

I heard your cries…

Your fears,

Your dreams,

A lifetime of desires yet still untamed

Yet still…. Unfulfilled

A longing to be fulfilled

To be filled….?

I listened as you said, “This is who I am”

You said to smell me, and I did

I inhaled, and took in the bouquet of Gods’ creation

A mix of roses and morning

A mix of morning and dew

A mix of life and yearning

A mix of at this moment and eternally

A mix of former times and tomorrow

A mix of last night and early this morning

I took in your fragrance as you said, “This is who I am”

You said to feel me, and I did

I felt the way your body reacted to my touch,

A new touch

I felt the heartbeat of a woman fearful

Quick, Short, Pulsating

I felt you were alive

I also felt your fretfulness

Taking a leap, again….

Unaware of the outcome

Wishing, Hoping, Dreaming, Wanting….

To not have to leap again

To be secure, to be safe, to be loved exclusively

Just you, Just me, Just us

You said to taste me, and I did

I got close enough to inhale your bouquet

I smelled you

Your body tensed up

I felt you

You exhaled

I heard you

I closed my eyes and in my mind

I saw only you

I culminated my senses

And I got a sense of you

And I tasted you

Your taste lingered on my lips the day after

I reveled in it,

A coy smile on my face

I was overcome, enthralled, absorbed if you may

You said to taste you, and I did

And I want to taste you again

I want that sense of you

To look

To hear

To smell

To feel

To Taste!
