sense

as winter fades away &

spring awakens from it's slumber, 

i feel it.

daylight lingers a tad longer

like your hugs

when we meet after a fortnight, 

or maybe 15 minutes.

in my bones,

i feel it.

layer after layer 

of woolen insulation 

sheds itself, 

hesitant first, 

then bolder

like my inhibitions 

when you pulled me

into the gentlest of kisses.

on my lips,

i feel it.

as you lie

under your blankets, 

you discover a sheen of sweat 

covering

the arch of your back, 

and it surprises you 

pleasantly. 

just the way it felt when

we first made love.

on my skin,

i feel you.

in the air,

i feel it.
