All I feel (2013)

  

I feel it

Before I see it,

Though in truth,

I don’t see it at all,

Just the memory of it,

The touch

Of flesh on flesh,

From some

Momentary madness

I ache to get bacdk,

I feel it

On the tip

Of my lips

From a kiss

I stole,

And treasure,

A sneak thief

In the night

Who carries away

An item

Nobody wants

Yet remains

In my hope chest

Like a precious pearl,

I feel it

On my lips first

Then taste it

As it works

Its way down

Into the middle of me

Where I can never

Get it out,

A joyful pain

I keep during

Because

Without it,

I am nothing

It is all I feel.
