Every Time I Close My Eyes

laying on my bed in the midst of a lazy afternoon
just as my eyelids settle down, i see you hovering
moving over me like a dark cloud, pressing the storm

my neck contorts itself and my head tilts back
your smell breezes across me, my skin prickles
i can feel your hands on top of mine, roaming

opening my eyes, i can see you're not here
it's just a fraction of light i need to see you again
closing them too tight, you slip out of my grasp

every movement reminds me of your absence
a dull ache in the heart of the throbbing of my sex
as i writhe uncontrollably on my cold sheets

i want to feel you press into me from behind
as i roll over my shoulder and bury my face
the weight of you forming me into a concave bow

my body twists as though possessed of another
reaching out into thin air, unable to see clearly
relenting only after coaxing climax from my mind
