My Lullaby

~~~

Though our lips have never met

I have kissed you a million times

For each time that I have slept

I partake of you in my mind

~~~

Though absent of your fragrance

You have scented every dream

An aroma of lust and romance

Carried aloft by lurid steam

~~~

Though no touch is rendered true

I can feel it in my head

Fingers trace each curve of you

When I am lying in my bed

~~~

Though I have not seen those eyes

The cold is warmed by their fire

A longing and want unrealized

When at end of day respire

~~~

Though your words never heard

Music of lilt and loving sigh

Echo each and every word

As you sing my lullaby

~~~
