El Familiar by Nina S.

In darkness a familiar walk

A familiar shape comes into view

As the image comes into focus...my heart quickens

Not ready, I turn my eyes away and close them tight wishing you away

But this is worst than before
All the memories come back
Feeling of your warm breath, your scent musky, soapy ....cool water fresh
The touch of your lips on my cool skin
The excitement and racing of my blood under my skin at your soft kisses
No guiding of hands here or loud purposed murmurs announcing ecstasy
All is already known
All territory discovered and covered

Sometimes a familiar touch is more exciting than a new one

As it speaks of long felt trust of loving and sharing
Of familiarity
Where an embrace is easy to give
When I gathered you into me as natural as I breathe fresh air
Being wrapped in each one’s space, arms, legs fingers and toes
And souls confined comfortable to one space is pure silent joy
Your words released the stresses of the world and brought calm to a frighten heart
When I felt like mine changed a life and inspired a heart and mind.

But this is no more

As neither your territory or mine belongs to the other anymore
I hide
Not ready to be with a lost love
Using nights cover, I allow him to pass on by.
