The Love
I feel your hands in the grocer giving me my change
at the corner store
and I want to pass my lips over them.
I see your face in a man leaning over a book
in the coffee shop
and I just about drown in espresso eyes.
Words from your mouth
spill out of my mind.
I hear you in every soulful song that lives
in the noise of the waves crashing
fast cars and the wind blowing.
There is no place I can walk
your body doesn’t walk with me.
Down the cobbled pathways
over the lemon scented thyme.
Beyond the reach of the gold
in the harvest moon.
And in the cold fear of winters’ loneliness
as the sun breaks through
you reach for me.
The Love
