Too close or too far
I change and bend to meet your movement
Lithe and hard
I love the feel of your cold feet against my warm body
The balance of touch and the giving
heart, beat, rises to your anger
Trying to match your pace
Sort of breath against your lips
Wordless
This us the greatest poem I will ever write
Clumsy though I am
I sit down to the page every day and pen love
Against the edits you have made
Praying writer's block will fade
And that you'll feel it
Thrown, falling, perchance to wake
I wish I saw something of the future
In the music of your face
