Evolution

a subtle touch lingers
rocks me gently
ghost breaths remain of
the electric thing
that has bred between us

simple yet not
energies swirl, mingling
passion abounds as feelings
erupted from the spark of romance
contributing to my evolution

i give back, unabated
how happy i am to be with you
my inner being, letting you in
sometimes afraid but never of you
sharing ourselves as we grow

I don't quite recall why I titled this poem "Evolution."  Noah and I were still together at this point, I was extremely happy in life; I had him, I was moving from Sioux Falls to Minneapolis for the first time, so life was great.  Perhaps I was speaking from the evolution of my emotions.
