Closer

I held you close today,
your robes are blue and white,
cool as cassia.

I held you close today,
your robes are warm
like toast.

Not the jelly kind.

The kind that has milk,
cinnamon and sugar.

My mom used to make it to help
me feel better.

I held you close today,
your heart was like a hearth of fire,
quenching my every desire.

A dream fulfilled.


Your love burns within my heart.
