Just Things

Teach me love
Its silent phrasings
Your eyes
As you allow the first button to be undone
 
Teach me patience
With a kiss
As my eyes long to wander
My vagrant fingers  
Slipping the strap from your shoulder
 
And then the other
 
Clothing's stray trailings across the floor
Even as kisses
Your face
Your lips
Your neck
Yet finding their depth
In the soft close of your eyes
 
Do feelings take flight
Emotions stir
You a willing offering to me
Your body
Melded within my arms
 
Enveloped
As I within your aura
 
Sweet treasure
Everything
Heaven
 
That certain measure
Which says
Mine
In my taking
And your giving
 
Does the air dizzy in your nearness
In the intimacy of now
 
Teach me to breathe as you breathe
Breath shared within a kiss
Kisses lingering
Drawn out long into a night of dreams
 
I long for this
