Inner Woman Volume 2

I wish I could feel your hands

stroking my skin

your love soaking in

from callused fingertips

I wish I could meet your eyes

gray blue with flecks of orange

I often wonder if you were

part cat

I wish I could hear you sing

your tone perfect voice

declaring our love

lasting forever

I wish I could taste your kisses

letting me know how much

you cared, how you stood beside me

encouraging my growth

I wish the scent that lingered

until I had to clear the way

was still there

and could always stay

I wish all the memories

could be made again

my senses flooded

one last time
