absent body

you have a translucent soul
and clear eyes
like the rising sun

you have a refreshing smile
and a soft glance
like the morning air

you have my poems
in the midst of your bed
you have my dreams
under your pillow
you have my smiles,
captured

and my absent body
needs you
and my forsaken skin
calls for you
and my back, so cold,
longs for you

gather up my steps
fetch my wings
take me, please,
between your sheets

and make love to me slowly
so that I may lose myself
once and for all
between your tender arms
