                _3 am_

                   I
                 awake
             in blackness
              3 am alone
                 bleak

                  my
             memory dances
            flashes of you
          whisper of a smile
            wink of an eye

                  the
              soft caress
               of thigh
               and touch
            of velvet skin

                  and
                my soul
         writhes and twitches
             to the tempo
       of a remembered heartbeat

                  so
             i walk alone
                in pain
           in a waking hell
           of my own making

                  and
             i do not wish
          to live without you
           but i am not yet
            allowed to die

                  now
             i do not know
              how i go on
         or how i can be whole
              without you

                perhaps
               some day
           i will reach out
           take back my soul
             and walk away
                 alone


             _remembrance_

            soft warm flesh
          pressing against me
            my pulse racing
         heart beating faster
     i'm growing hard and sliding
      between caressing asscheeks

            to gentle music
            of sleepy moans
          my hand cups breast
          and fondles nipple
             erecting now
           beneath my touch

              thighs part
            legs intertwine
            wet hungry lips
           press gently down
        against invading thigh
            demanding more

           tongue and teeth
       play quietly insistently
            on ear and lobe
              and jawline
            on nape of neck
             and shoulder

              roving hand
        strokes gently downward
        'cross smooth savannah
           of lusting flesh
       to tangled thatch of hair
              and beyond

            finger strokes
         'tween dampening lips
     slick folds of pouting flesh
          envelop and engulf
            intruding digit
      welcoming and embracing me

           slow penetration
         yields gentle whimper
   rippling muscles gripping tighter
          plead for thickness
          depth and hardness
           satisfaction now

    consciousness returning slowly
   gentle stretching finger slipping
      rigid penis asks for entry
           your body urging
           pressing downward
           wet lips parting

              now i enter
            pressing deeply
          sheathed inside you
     as we join and gently couple
             souls commune
           combine and merge

        as sensations overwhelm
   the universe distorts and twists
   time suspends its forward journey
   trapped and held in loving thrall
             united lovers
           work their magic

  convulsions wrack mere mortal body
   time released will travel onward
     now awake i find you're gone
         i'm 3 am alone again
  and yet i smile in warm remembrance
    and drift back to welcome sleep

          though lovers found
         may have to leave you
            love once found
           will ever linger
         to light long nights
           and warm the soul
