far more potent than a simple touch
the energy of eyes and partnered motion
may flow, may swirl,
may come to mean so much
it fills me, moves my spirit
like an ocean
in tidal highs and waves that rush and roar
in rhythmic beats
along the sands and rocks of shore
aligns my pulse, expands my breath
augments my action
ionizes me, incites attraction
so that today, in indoor quiet
cocooned here from the stormy day outside
I’m warmed, beyond the radiator’s heat
by this: a nameless fullness of the heart.
