The Moment I Woke
I Lay in bed
coffee
smoke
My dreams didn’t start
till the moment I woke
I’ve been awake
wash
eat
I dressed for work
but just couldn’t leave
you brush a hand across my chest
unaware of my restlessness
fluttering eyes
dream
lay
your ears are uncovered
do you hear what I say
whisper love
touch
purr
a kiss to your breast
a naked stir
you brush a hand across my chest
unaware of my restlessness
covers removed
deep
arc
I trace the spine
to the back of your heart
close my eyes
tongue
lips
I make a line
to curve of your hips
you brush a hand across my chest
unaware of my restlessness
stir and stretch
stretch
yawn
you open your eyes
to find I was gone
you Lay in bed
coffee
smoke
your dreams didn’t start
till the moment I woke
