As you close your eyes and drift to slumber
our bodies conjoined together
naked skin emitting warmth
trapped in the locks of limbs
your head on my chest
Do you feel the rhythm --
of my heartbeat?
Do you feel my caress
leaving no parts
untouched?
Do you feel my tongue swirling
in your mouth
eager to savour every taste
of you?
Darkness lets me see you clearly
your shape
the silkiness your hair
every contour
the ridges, the valleys, the mountains
the stream of life running
You will stir
aware of the intrusions
yes, be conscious!
feel every sensation
jolts of impulse firing
You will retaliate
snuggling until
there is no distance between us
in the brief moment
two become one
You will
We will
Only if
If only
you are not
the hollow space under the blanket
