I can feel your absence,

the shadow that you left.

Deeply tattooed to my soul,

preventing my deceit.

I can feel the sweat

as you body joins –

mine in sweet perfection

as we are to rejoice.

I can feel the breath,

that stains my silken cheek

as you exhale a final time,

to find what we both seek.

I can feel all of you,

a partner to my soul.

Always a friend and love of mine,

passionately take your toll.
