Silken Touch

I can’t even find the words
Describing this experience
Seems almost sacrilegious

Holding these hours
In my heart I now see
The madness of most
Poets who search
Wantonly
For that muse
Who embraces their dreams
Has ended for me

I have truly
Found the woman
Whose silken touch
Quiets the daemons and brings about instead
A quickening breath
To be stolen from my
Lungs
By her soft lips
