Today I Crave a Lover

Today I crave a lover.
Today I have some extra needs - 
to feel like someone special to someone who's special to me.. 
For some gentleness. 
Some softness. 
A sensitive, affectionate touch. 
One that can only be provided by the hands of someone in love.. 
Hands that just know where to go, and where, for now, to leave be. 
I'd like a warm body to pull me in to its soothing, sensual heat. 
I want the sense of a deepening connection. 
To experience a perfect reflection of my own heart's telling beat.. 
And eyes that look with tenderness, and see beyond my body, to the Being inside. 
A beholder who invites mine to do the same because, from me, they have nothing to hide. 
Lips from which slip beautiful truths, 
that land like silken secrets on my ear drums, and fallen feathers on my skin, 
and bring us, with tingles, ever closer, both externally and within. 
I want an intimacy that's desired by both hearts, equally.
Physically. 
Emotionally. 
A Oneness that elevates spiritually.. 
Today, I crave a lover. 
A lover who craves me.
