Encompassing

You’re the compass that I need
You’re the air that I breathe, I need you
You’re my center of gravity, I feel you
And my love is bursting at the seams
You are a rose petal on my bed of thorns
You are the strength when all else is torn
Each night you haunt my pillow with sleepy stare
Your scent, so very sweet, still permeates the air
Your kiss, well . . . it’s still damp upon my lips
And last night’s embrace is one to reminisce.
