INTO YOUR ENERGY
Your energy deceives my senses.
I hear your breathing.
The in and out of your Soul's lifeforce.
Your hot breath on my neck
Stirs my being.
I reach for you as your breath vanishes
Into your energy.
I hear you call my name.
That sweet, melodious sound
That makes my Soul sing.
I look to the left and the right
As your voice vanishes
Into your energy.
I feel the softness of your hair.
The curve of your muscular body.
The gentle touch of your hands
Upon my face.
I reach to connect as your hand vanishes
Into your energy.
I taste the sweetness of
Your lips against mine.
The saltiness of your damp skin.
The moistness of your passion tears.
I move to wipe your tears as your taste vanishes
Into your energy.
I see the salt and pepper in your hair.
The crow's feet, created by the joyous Soul within.
The sweet smile greeting All that is.
I open my eyes
As your vision vanishes
Into your energy.
My only hope is for your growing strength.
Strength enough to join
Your energy with mine on this plane
Or strength enough to
Make your energy
Vanish from me completely.
