Distance

What is distance when I can reach out and touch you
My thoughts filtering into your very being
You feel my presence
You feel the warmth of my body
You feel my need of you

I reach out and in my mind you are with me
I taste you
I touch you
Your skin smooth to my fingers
I breathe in deeply
Your scent profound and intoxicating
Slowly and gently I dissolve into you

We move as one
We leave all else behind
There is no past, no present, no future
For time is lost as we become as one
I hold you deep inside me
Matching pace for pace
Both in want and giving
The zenith a far distant cry of pleasure

Look into my eyes
Do you see my soul
Naked and unashamed
Hold it dearly
For it is given in honesty
