How Do I Feel You Poem by Loreta Muskardin

There was a poem with
Opening lines
How do I love you?
Let me count the ways.

And that was that,
And this is this.
My poem breathes with
Different gasps.

How do I feel you?
Let me count the ways.

I feel you with my open arms
With fingers in your hair.
I feel you with smiling eyes
With lips and sensual touch.
I feel you through words
Exchanged and each one
Taking me, taking us fast.

I feel you with singing heart
With desire to please and
To give, to hug.

When hearing you talk
And smiling at the screen
When it feels that you are
Right here with me.

When virtual fingers
Cuddle and connect and
Turn me into a melting pot.
I feel you then as you were
Always mine.

How do I feel you?
Like a longtime friend
Like a God-given lover
Like an extension of myself.

How do I feel you
When you are away?
Like a light in the tunnel
Approaching fast.
Like a crash to happen
Like mutual flight.

How do I feel you
When we cry?
Like souls in pain
Like humans finding
Themselves.
Like a man and a woman
Afraid to love.

How do I feel you
When we make love?
Like a journey that started
With hundreds of maps.
Like the road to travel
Embrace and ride.

How do I feel you
When you say “Do it NOW”
Like a man to cherish
Like a Dom to obey.
Like a well of water
On a dry sand.
Like a life itself.

How do I feel you
When you are in pain?
Like a tender friend
To mend your heart
Like a woman you need
Like a soul to help.

How do I feel you
When you talk about her?
Of the love of your life
And the chains that connect.
Like a man who loved
And cries for help.
Like a man I’d love
Like a soul to heal.

How do I feel you
When you want to escape?
That is when I feel you
The strongest, my man.
That is when I feel you
Like a mirror of myself
My muse of despair.

How do I feel you
When you push me away?
Like a soul that has found
And has lost again.

How do I feel you?
Let me stop these lines.
I feel you with much
More than is possible
To describe.
