untitled

Dreams lost and found in the hush
of late night musings
riot of color from
moon and water on wall
splash my world with
kaleidoscope fancies

Hand on stomach takes
me away from my wandering
back to the here and now
of body heat shared
and breath mingled
in the oldest dance on earth

Light in the darkness
pierces my soul with
radiant amber glow
my sigh swallowed by
her mouth as she breathes
and I breathe with her

Pillow talk at 4am
and we should have been
asleep hours ago but
nothing is more important
than these quiet murmurs
from whisper to whisper

In the end words are
unnecessary and trivial
compared to the heady
sensation of being two
made one and whole for
the first time as hearts
slow and sweat dries
