Tonight we'll meet again.

Patient through the night;
  chilling colds

                      yet,
 even one thought

 of you
 and warmth takes
 over shivers on

                        silken skin.

 A forgotten shack

 dusty corners,
                        floors

          scattered
                       with forest

            litter,


 windows nonexistent,
   

there’s emptiness
in cracked,

                  sitting mirrors.
.
Memories,
our time,
flash playfully in my mind.
It begins tonight,
                         I toast

                                    S

                                      i

                                        l

                                         e

                                           n

                                             c

                                               e
                                                  

                                                  as your presence felt again,
                                                  I wish

                                                 to entertain.

    I get the strange feeling that the lady in the pic was kidnapped, tied up and is being held against her will. Hence, the nudity. But your poem is obviously between two lovers, so that's not the case. Exactly how does she wish to "entertain?" as if I didn't know.
    Good free verse poem. Nice images of forgotteness.
