Filling Empty
…………………………………………………………………..

By morning,
Space between sheets…
Had warmed…holding me,
Still and with hesitation…
Of rising.

Without you here to greet me…
Reason did not present itself,
For me to venture further…
Without you near.

Come lover…
Lie here beside me,
Warming cold body and heart…
Giving me purpose and strength…
To rise and meet this day.

Warm me with your passion…
And need for me,
It’s how I find direction…
In life and love,
Where I’ve fallen lost…
In the past.

Our love…my sole focus,
That fills and runs…
Through my veins,
Giving life to living,
Within this precious space…
Love has created,
Filling hearts with luxury…
Of belonging.

Make haste return,
Fall into my arms…

Putting my heart at peace.
