When I AM Loved By You
By Jason Sturner


A silky aura

surrounds me

when I . . .



Lavender dreams

visit me sleeping

when I . . .



Golden extravagance

fills my every moment

when I am loved by you.



My nerves

come to ease



My tensions

are of no attention



My heart beats

with subtle integrity



when I am loved by you.
