Love Poem: Awaiting Her Return

Awaiting Her Return

she smiles
warm hands
softly touch
slowly I
melt

spying
my tiny
reflection
in loving
blue eyes
lips
whispering
“time to go”
sighing
embracing
drawing
closer
kissing
releasing
“later my
love”

she departs
as I linger
content
with
remnants
of her
fragrance
and
shadow
of her
smile

alone
I yearn
awaiting
her return
