All I need
All I need
is warmth
to know you are by my side
If I cannot smell your sweet breath,
If I cannot see your crooked smile,
If I cannot hear your ethereal voice,
If I cannot touch your skinny cupid's bow,
If I cannot taste your pouted lips,
I thank the Lord
that I can feel your warmth
That I feel the radiation from your body to mine
That the warmth spreads
like an eagle's wings, courageously
like a viral infection, uncontrollably
I need not fear the cold
because passion never leaves me
As if my skin glows
and bright lights shoot out with the love of a thousands suns
I just need my thoughts
And I am warm
And being warm
is a blessing of comfort and home.
I am thankful for this fire in my heart
that will never rest as I age
and though it may burn,
it keeps me warm
