Like the deserts miss the rain

Missing...
Your autumn clothes and springtime smile 
Your cloudless eyes
Sand between our toes, along a lonely beach 
Undressing you
Between the ocean and the sky
Your strength and confidence in yourself 
The woman that you are

Missing... 
Lying in bed
The rain above our heads 
Snuggled tight
Your back nestled against mine 
Your breast in my hand
The scent of Miriam
The cakes you baked me 
Your laughter
Your love and understanding

Missing...
Your sexy voice 
Dressing you in my shirt
Undressing you in my shirt
You doing up 15 buttons on your dress 
Me undoing 15 buttons on your dress 
Rocky seashores
Misty morning headlands
Snorkelling and diving
Our eyes meeting through our masks 
The mystery of shells and seaweed 
Corals and fish
You showing me a special place, an underwater cave

Missing...
Your smile at the airport 
Your good moods
Your bad moods
Buying you liquorice in a small white paper bag 
You close beside me
Driving.. seems like only you and I
An open road
Skin, and cotton, and fingers

Missing...
Our lunchtime stops
Sandwiches and blankets
Giggles and laughter Rolling over
Arms outstretched
I love the sounds you make 
Of pleasure

Missing...
Waking in the morning In the Holden bed 
Or in a cabin
Beside the sound of waves
On the beaches
We walked together

Missing...
Sunsets and dreams
Houses and gardens 
Cats and sofas

Missing...
Friends we shared Elsie and her kids
Melbourne skies
Dinners and streets and music

Missing... 
Your strength 
Your vision 
Your direction

Missing...
You taking me the long way home In the night
Lying on a beach somewhere 
Dreaming together
Under a starlit sky 
Watching for shooting starts Making wishes

Missing... 
Your beautiful breasts (the sports model)
Your wonderful bum...
Your nipples 
Gently between my teeth
Kissing your toes
Kissing your forehead 
Your cheeks
Gently kissing your eyelids
Practicing butterfly kisses

Missing...
Your understanding 
Your challenges 
Your guidance
Your love

Missing...
Our path together
Planting flowers in the garden 
Seeds of life
Reading books on how to bring up kids


Missing things and places and ideas 
Missing fingers and thoughts intertwined 
Missing lots of things we did
Missing lots of things we never did 
Missing the woman of my dreams 
Still in my dreams...
