You Are
by Kate DemereeYou are the sun
Rising early
On a foggy morn
Over the river
As I sit thinking
Of
You
The air
That I breathe
Deeply
deeper still
Inhale
Taste the essence
Is you
You are
The moon, the stars
In the night time sky
Drifting lazily
Above me
Just out of reach
As I sigh
The feel of silk
Draped across
My thigh
Smooth
Soft
Enticing
The first thing I think of
As I wake to a new day
The word I whisper
In my sleep
deep
Wrapped in the sheet
Trapped in grateful
Surrender
To the dream
Where I am free
Free
To love you
Deeper still
The beginning
In the morning
The ending
Of the day
The kiss
Of dew
Upon the rose
The first and last note
Of the melody
Sung by my soul
The missing piece
Of the puzzle
The one
That fits
Right
In
The
Center
The core of me
The breeze
On a summers day
Blowing hot
Across my skin
Drying the glisten droplets
Sprinkled there
You are
All I ever wanted
Everything I need
