Love Poem: Do You

Do You

Do you think of me 
at all? Does my name
cross your mind
in the darkness of night?
When you pause to take
a breath, does your life pass
in color or black and white? 
A memory of hands
held or kisses shared. Words
whispered in passion and need.
Hopes and heart-wrenching dreams
freely given out into the air
between two bodies.

Do you remember me
at all? Does my scent 
flutter past your consciousness
in the tenderest of 
moments? When you embrace your
other, does she know I exist?
A memory of legs, wrapped 
in silent agreement. Letters
written and etched 
in fondness and love. Feelings 
matched and mated,
disappearing in the mist 
of passing time.
