I just whisper your name
and before me you appear
I tremble at the mere thought
of your touch
I do this endlessly my dear
your hands devastate my back
with their sure steady brush
something in me breaks apart
at the thought of
you never being near
what have you done to me
this force I can not steer
in my weaker moments
I wonder am I all alone in
what I feel
is the poet in me better at home
when joy is packed out of the way
behind answer less fear
what if what I reveal
scares you away
you could leave this path we
cross upon today
never to look back
or return nor look my way
and I would not be able to find you
you could leave me behind
without a word or thought
yet my soul knows
to do such a deed
you would have to bankrupt your own
need of me
I can't see you deliberately doing this
for to hurt me in such a way
you would have to hurt yourself
far, far
beyond today
eventually you know your thoughts
would betray you
and I , even in my own losing of you
would have won
and winners as you know
always hate to lose
and you, my love are most definitely
a winner
so your second returning gives me
yet more proof
you are indeed my love
and to your heart's way of thinking
I've nothing to worry about nor lose
you've said it to me so, so many times
baby, I'm all yours.................
