Into Never Never land

She’s gone

but her girl-woman scent

lingers on

on the other side

of my bed.

Her heat

will keep me waiting

for the next time

that we cross

paths.

I think of her smell

and her hair;

of her warmth

and her smile,

while I slip

into never never land.

And she’ll be there

waiting again,

for the touch

and the kiss,

to be mine.
