Love Poem: My Why

My Why

I breathe you in
I taste your skin
I’m starved for you
My sweet sin

Your fingers comb
Behind my ears 
When we’re alone
You calm my fears 

You place your hands 
Across the line
Our spirits dance
We intertwine 

The moon and stars
See it all
A love like ours
Is doomed to crawl

Beneath the bars
Of what’s accepted
Less than par
Left rejected

But when I see
Your underneath
It occurs to me
Why I breathe

Why I’m here
Why I live
Why feel fear
Why forgive

At the close
Of every day
I’m glad to know
Why to pray
