GOOD MORNING MY AIR

hazy visions dissipate
dream created fingers

i long to feel you again
i reach out my arm
distal phalanges search
a memory recalls
where you should be
where you're not

it's not warm flesh
that greets my fingers

the sheets are cool

once hot under your skin
now unheated

the fire has gone
slipped away

like a shadow
like a thief in the night

eyes flicker
head turns
look in that void
your body lied there
reminders of you linger in...

the air
sweet from gasps
sighs
unspoken desires
secret moments
uncontrollably screamed out
and the breath we shared

the bed
scent of soap
sweat
delicate exploration
taste of skin
aroma of passion stoked
and the love we shared

a sudden grip of sadness...

a trace of you

like a phantom
from the darkness

a single breath
bare
flesh

a single kiss
soft
wet

a single whisper
"good morning my air"
