Day 7 of the OctPoWriMo challenge . Tongue is the prompt for today
You
Are
When you are gone I close my eyes,
I
close my eyes and think of you.
My
inmost substance sees you there,
Encounters
your presence.
You Are
the
light that brightens my gloom.
When
I think of you I cannot breathe,
Mysterious
shivers cascade through me,
I
tremble at your touch, am caught in your embrace,
A
warm flame rests within my heart,
I
want to stay,
You Are
The
place I want to be..
I
taste your lips, wondrous sweet,
relish
every morsel,
True
delight, honey from the bee,
You Are
the
only sustenance for me.
I
hear your gentle voice, whispering words of love,
Words
that I long to secrete somewhere in my memory,
to
be retrieved at times like this,
You
Are
Music
to my ears, the echo of my dreams,
Murmurings
that comfort me.
