A desperate longing for your touch,
I reach for your discarded shirt.
The fabric clings to my skin,
A lingering comfort
In your winsome scent.
A gift until
claimed by the
greedy
air.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
