Cold Desire Poem by Dechen Doma Sherpa

I lay awake long after you turned to sleep
The rumpled sheets and scattered clothes illustrate your love for me
Your warm touch burned through my body and left my soul cold
And now in the aftermath i am left alone while Cold desire gnaws my core

Lying next to you all i can see is the faint outline of your back
I hear you uttering faint gibberish words of sense to me
Its the only time i understand what you ask of me
Its the only time you listen to my silent speech
