Over the Wall

over the wall and past the sentries
at their posts but fast asleep
undetected in you slip
resurrecting a past dream

defenseless is this state I'm in
things kept in check by day
seeping from an unguarded heart
you slowly erode them away

moonlight through the window
a kiss on moistened lips
hands that elicit passion
all that I have missed

stirring softly, moans escape
continuing without demands
eyes can't see behind the lids
closed tightly to hold this in

the sun arrives and I open my eyes
wonder takes its place
not a dream, you are next to me
a smile graces your sleeping face
