Last night I inhaled and tasted you until
my head was dizzy and I needed to sleep
my mind fighting me to stay awake as if
sleeping breaths were a wasted opportunity
for tomorrow night, we sleep apart
and my need is to remember you
lying here next to me
my fingertips brushing your skin
your hair
forcing the sensations into my sub-conscious mutterings
because stroking cold linen is not the same

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an on-going project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever growing love of poetry.
