SOON NOW

My favourite part of the day is

when I put my arms around you

and disappear in your embrace.

When my eager hands get to

touch your gorgeous face

and caress your hair.

When my excited fingertips

travel across your skin and

fondle your soft blazing lips.

When I gently press

my cheek against yours

and I'm swept off my feet

by your sweet innate scent.

When I kiss your lips and I

remember that familiar taste

that has been lingering

on my tongue for centuries.

When I look into your eyes but

get absorbed by the universe

and I thank God I'm home.
