Poem – I Feel Like I Am Alone When I Am With You

I hear the screen door open, and my heart wakes up,
Since we left the house this morning,
We have been racing back to each other

You rush to me, drop your bag,
Bury your face in my neck,
And I my face in your perfumed hair

It envelopes, intoxicates and disarms me

Your arms tight around my neck shackle and free me

You sigh so deeply, as if you held your breath all day

Our lingering in each other's arms, let’s us know,

That our longing is our master

This embrace leads to bed,
And we fall into it as one,
Our only desire since leaving it together this morning.

Our love making is really love giving,
Flooding out of us and drenching the other,
The intensity always a surprise,
It is still dangerous after all this time

When done giving ourselves,
You lay at my side, left leg and arm draped over me,
Atop our drenched sheets

I love you

I love you

I know we are one, as I feel like I am alone when I am with you
