Wishes and Kisses

I wish you here to soothe a primal fear

I wish you here brimful of tingling firecracker thoughts

I wish you here on a blanketed balmy evening with all possibility before us

I wish you here to kiss me in the morning

I wish you here with a vast hand spread eagled cradling my cheek

I wish you here to feel a mouth migrating to a neck, palms matched

I wish you here breathing me in, filling your lungs with scent for a long cold winter

I wish you here as piercing diagonal sleet sweeps across the landscape

I wish you here to escape the poorly of soul and tired of mind

I wish you here to bottle thoughts with exquisite memory

I wish you here pacing around me like a wary wild thing

I wish you here while the creaking floorboards of my soul ache at the movement of my memories

I wish you here to provide a brow stroke, a hand squeeze, a sign

I wish you here to catch a string of opaque pearls on your cotton sleeve

I wish you here as two souls in the night search for the truth and the words to give it wings

I wish you here to reap the truth from the fields of fear

I wish you here feeling forlorn, lovelorn

I wish you here with reassuring words swimming through warm air docking on sad earlobes

I wish you here to see confusion give way to clarity, paper covers rock
