The Warmth of Your Touch Under the Sheet

The weather is changing
The snow is upon the ground
As I laid under the sheet
Attempting to count some sheep
I couldn't get to sleep
As the temperature was rising
Beneath the sheet all cuddly and warm
Your love was appetizing
Frozen and numb, playing dumb as I laid there analyzing
Recognizing my heart was pounding 
I felt your hand upon my chest I couldn’t get any rest
Under the sheet as you performed your best 
The temperature kept on rising
The warmth of your touch made me see the horizon
Under the sheet the fire kept on burning
As the snow was settling and the ice was upon the ground
I attempted to fall asleep
I will never forget the warmth of your touch
Which made my heart skip a beat 
Under the sheet as my body became numb and I played dumb
I shall never forget the warmth of your touch
That made me visualize the horizon
