Passion's Return

The erotic touch of your words on my skin
Awakening my body from sleep
I thought passion had left me

Your sensual arousal not only brought my body to life
But resuscitated my spirit as well
Breathing new life into a dormant soul

Lost in the duties of just living life
Watching birthdays record another year older
I looked in the mirror to see a face change with age

You saw a beauty I felt I didn’t possess
Your words telling me to stop judging myself
I now walk in more confidence

Once writing poetry had been a joy in life
But I had long ago put down my pen
Because of you I am now writing again

My hope is to give you a part of myself
A tiny piece to take with you
The memory of passion’s gift you gave me
