Love Poem: Rhapsody

Rhapsody


I will write a few gathered words about my lover,
     from the past;
and will collect my tears in a big glass jar,
that's a lovely dress, he said, now take it off.
How our bodies fit together like puzzle pieces,
  he whispers in my ear sexy things;
when he touches me- my blood is pulsing hot,
  my body ignites with an ache and he kisses me.
     I breathe him in,
and we are lost in a wild whirlwind of lust and love.

The sheets are in a tangle and we are all sweaty,
     I love him so much;
and want to be sheltered in his arms forever, ever,
he whispers, kiss me, and I do, and I am lost again.
Oh, I found my safe sanctuary in his beating heart,
  a refuge in his soul and shelter from my pain;
I wish that I could freeze time and stay with him,
  I stroke his face and lips and he smiles at me.
     And whispers, love me,
beyond the closed curtains- the midday sun shines.
