I feel you in me, on me

Every beat of my heart
Moves twice as much
Than without you

I can’t inhale exhale
My longing
Exhausts all
Tension

In my body
Feeling deprived
Of your touch

More than your physical
Your energy
Reaching my being

The sustenance
Of my lifeforce
It surmounts slow

Like the eventual decay
Over mountain tops
And river stones.
