A Woman's Touch

A Woman’s Touch
by
Joseph Timothy


To feel her touch again
To smell her hair
To wake up in bed not alone
To feel her head pressed to my heart
Her breath on my chest
Her arm across my stomach
Her palm on my side
I can feel her eye lash twitch
And tickle my breast
She stirs and my body is stirred
Her eyes water and I am watered
She looks up and I behold
The most beautiful of all sunrises
Like petals her lips part
She speaks
         "I gotta pee."
