warmskin


heartbeat beneath
warmskin
under my hand

gentle thudding under
my ears
tuned into his breath

on his chest rests my head
his fingers idly run through my hair

slow breath
as we try to sleep

gentle moonlight kisses
skin
recently blessed by lips

silence unbroken
save for a few whispered words

fingertips brushing my cheek
kiss his hand

settle even closer into
the warm embrace
breathe deeply in his scent

drift off to sleep
tingling skin
as i fall into dreams
