author's note:  i was recently commissioned to write this poem for a friend.  she wanted to give it to this guy she thought was cute for his birthday (okay, so it's a little more serious than that).  i guess i didn't realize i had it in me.
			after the fall
		there are moments in time when i don't feel so alone looking over my shoulder to see where it all began how you could have known to find me when i was so lost i long for you to reach for me, hold my heart in your hands fill this void with something only you possess undress my soul with desire that cannot be contained and an erupting passion never to be controlled a gentle touch from behind, a wistful smile, and a dream that melodic voice moving me to the ends of the earth breaking up my rain clouds with the light of desire all those unspoken words suddenly expressed in a touch emotions swell from an intense memory; i close my eyes you're all that's there and that's all that i see everything i am, i breathe into you
