Small Moments

I miss you most
In small of moments
In food you love, half eaten
Your toothbrush, still wet
Your hair still with me,
its scent, softly drifitng
from your pillow

Vices

Fingers trace a line
Your habits touching mine
Smoke like silk
Two wet lips
Clinging

His Smile Sings Truths

His smile sings truths
In a room stained with lies
Soft, suede brown hair
A quiet, in the curve of his thighs

Found in You

I found in you
a quiet place
A peace
in the small of
your back
Filled up on comforts
Bathed in the smell
Of your sweat,
and cotton socks
