Using my Words -- My Holy Grail

Using my Words -- My Holy Grail


Last night, the sheets pulled off
By you.
I shivered in the warmth
Of your
Intoxicating presence.

Room glowing in the light
Of a TV left on, color
Blinding
In dark, your form distinct.

You stretched but did not stir,
Eyes fluttering,
Kissed by dragonflies, not
My lips. Heavy. Heady. Hungry.
