Reverent
.
I remind myself of your touch
Still fresh mere hours before
Hesitate beneath the stream
To separate from your scent
Ours combined
Steady myself against the wall
Cold tile awakens my skin
Closed eyes and a smile
Your sudden kiss
Brings me nearer to now
As I linger in last night’s dance
With you finally before me
I kneel and pray
The best way I know how
Reverence for reverence
Recounting my moments of joy
The gifts you endlessly give
Craving your release
To my devotion
Your strength to my care
We sit spent beneath the rain
And hold on for life

Lucky it's pretty cold here or I would need a cold shower now.
Wow! It's great to have another profoundly positive poem about intimacy and the beauty of life and love in this time of incessant warfare and deep political hostilities.
