Poetry- Love
Just a Touch
Through the night as I lay in and out of sleep,
more out than in,
I feel your chest rise and fall
against my back.
When you are finally ready for deep sleep
you roll over so that your back is to me.
Your breathing is in rhythm with the house.
You hardly move and your sleep is unbroken
accept at times its like you half wake
and search for me-
Without opening your eyes
or even moving your body,
You reach our your hand
and feel around for me.
Then when you find my hand or my leg,
your body finally relaxes
and then its like you let out a sigh of relief
and fall back into that place where you were sleeping before.
And I feel it everytime you do it
whether its once, twice or several times in the same night,
whether I am asleep or awake.
I love that you need me like that.
I hope you never stop.

I have been loved
and I have loved
but always it seems the love I give
is so much more
than the love any man before has shared.
I've known what its like to be looked at,
to be admired
and to be made love to
yet it was always so shallow
like the ocean just flirting with my toes.
His love is different.
Like for once instead of feeling the tickle of love
I am overwhelmed by the long and deep wave of emotion.
When he looks into my eyes he doesn't stop there
but sees right down deep into my heart.
When he touches my skin
I swear its like he is caressing my soul.
What have I done to deserve such deep and undeserved love?
How did I go so long feeling the loneliness I did?
I could never go back to how I was loved before.
It was like a breeze compared to this tornado like wind.
Now I am held so close, so tightly
that no love before
or after could dare compare.
He has spoiled me for as long as I live.
