Today

I love you today.

I see you and feel you under my skin.

I can almost taste you as I look at you miles away.

I need you today.

More than I have needed crystal clear waters in the desert.

I gaze into your sad eyes and I want to hold you,

But my arms cannot reach across the Pacific.

Your lips were made to fit mine,

But I am too far to caress them with mine.

Your nipples are mine, they say they are mine.

My tongue craves to travel the nape of your neck.

My hands are longing to stroke your body and

Feel your energy flow into me.

Be my source, Today.

Love me, Today.

Let me, Today.

Breathe me, Today.

And I promise to love you Today.

Tomorrow is just too far to even fathom.
