Forever
by Kate DemereeI am
I am
The steamy spray
Of the shower
Landing in the sweet
Smelling softness
Of your hair
Sliding over your forehead
Lingering
Upon your lips
Gathering momentum
Running down your chest
Stopping for a moment
At your belly button
I journey on
To the south
Resting
At your groin
Sliding
Smoothly
Down your thigh
Knee,
Calf
Landing
At your feet
Flowing into
The earth
The wind
Blowing softly
Bringing a spring breeze
To kiss your cheek
The cloud
In the sky
Above you
The mist
Of the fog
That rolls
At your feet
Wraps itself
Around your form
Caresses you
With a touch
Moist and
Warm.
The cloud
In your sky
Thunder
That claps
As your
Lightening form
Flashes by
The ocean
Washing up
Onto your sandy shore
Lapping softly
Flowing away once more
I am
Forever
Returning
To you
