Love Poem: Waking

Written by: Cristina Salinas

Waking

his fragrance melts my frozen heart
I am gently pulled under
I rush to meet the power of the tidal wave

My mind dives into the familiar arms
my other senses are absent from the mirage

waking I reach for the empty side
the fire of longing licks at my essence
there is no relief

every swallow is dry and painful


each beat signals my ache
