Eve
Conversations with Poets

tonight
i am without strength
starving for warmth as she holds me
for a moment I think I can feel her
as her arms wrap around me
i hear a voice
soothing
nurturing
what little life is left in my broken bones
my body
which once played fine music
now uncomfortably numb
as misplaced years well up
seeking to escape the oceans of my soul
yet there they sit
trapped
frozen
in orbs iced blue
i cannot feel
there is no loss
there is no gain
adrift
i am adrift
peering into the space of nothingness
i briefly feel her
as she takes my hand in hers
gently
so gently
she brings my hand to her face
and i half realize she is there
like some hazy dream or spirit walk
i am out of body
yet locked in place
as she seeks to anchor my gaze
upon the beauty of her shore
i begin to feel warmth
as she nibbles the flesh on my fingertips
her moist mouth
breathing life into lifelessness
i feel my heart beating
there in my fingers
throbbing
her soft tongue wrapped around them
drawing them back from the abyss
is this a dream
i must be dreaming
so beautiful and inviting
the shoreline holding my gaze firmly
what beautiful eyes
this tender heaven I see before me
heaven
is this heaven
my hand now resting on her cheek
as she moves my hand gently across her face
i am in awe
i have never felt this before
my hands begin to longingly explore this paradise found
my own personal eden
i can’t help but read this body before me
like a braille bible
each caress
exploring my new kingdom
my fingers
slowly
tenderly
tracing the landscape of her life
her living words felt
she tells me that I am like a wild animal that has been caged to long
she breathes me in
her sighs a symphony
as her body begins to sing
a song greater than any
i have ever known...
and then I wake
my body alive
hot
flushed
yearning
longing
aching
for my Eve...
