Raindrops runnelling down my skin
Cooling my forehead, my molten core
Elicit memory of her cool hands
Stroking my every part
Bringing forth heat to combat
...
Sun's warmth feels like her breath
Hot, minty, exciting
Steaming my passion
As I turn my face to embrace it
...
Wind blowing my hair
Spectral whisper of her fingers
Eliciting tingles in my scalp
Causing shivers down my spine
...
Snow so pristine upon the land
Beautiful, unsullied in the dawn
Yet, like her, soon dirtied
As we thrash unheeding
...
Autumn leaves swaying
Twisting to and fro as life demands
Remind me of her dancing alone
Beckoning me to join her
Give in to psychedelic desire
...
Everywhere I look
I see her face
Everywhere I step
I feel her body beneath me
Everywhere I lay
I reach for her phantom embrace
Everywhere I go
There she is
Everywhere except where she belongs
Here in my arms
I miss Her
