New
A chill blew across my bare chest as I lay
naked between the sheets of my bed.
Now this draft did not come from the east,
but it cooled me just the same.
It hit when she reached across my body
picking her panties up off the floor,
while her soft delicate breast brushed
against my roughening skin.

It reminded me of the feeling I felt
as a child coming into a house
of hope and shame.
So vulnerable in my own thoughts
that would carry my soul
to a place of pine trees and snow paths,
a place where I find myself wrong.

And I lay half clothed and half open
waiting for a break in the silence
but its for the best
that beating hearts go on unanswered.
I wanted her to leave and not look back
because what lay behind was someone
that I had never met.
