It would have been
Right about now
That he'd come in
And kiss your shoulder

As you laid in bed
And whisper words
Softly in your ear
Bending next to you

Having just entered
The bed
Causing that small disturbance
To it all

But now
Since his death
The bed is still
And moves not at all

With no
Whispered words
Or kiss
Or love

Or embrace
Or nightly hold
All of which
You miss.

velvet, dark and alive..... touch, only an imprint of skin...

a lifetime ago...tonight

but for the cool touch of

gentle breeze on neck and lower back...
