Breath Poem by Todd Michael Cusato-Millar

Another cold December night has found me cold and alone
The brilliant moon illuminates my bedroom and exposes my loneliness
As i wrestle with these pillows and sheets as I surrender to my own defeat
WHAT DO I WISH FOR
long wet slow kisses filled with bliss and tenderness
A human touch that engages and ignites my soul
Those bedroom eyes they hypnotize and tantalize
As i turn to run and hide only then do I realize I'm paralyzed
Laying in the dark with our hands intertwined the feeling is so divine
I long to feel her breath upon my chest until I find rest somewhere in the night
She slowly turns away from me my hands are on her hips
my face is buried in her hair my warm breath exhales on to her neck
On certain nights I have shamed the moon for entering my room
But now the sun is breaching the horizon the morning's ultraviolet rays
have stolen her from me
Maybe one day she will return and make my love burn
But for now I have to take a moment and catch my breath
