Nap Time

With ease I slip into your solid arms;
Molded, shaped to fit my awkward silhouette.
Our arms and legs interweave through the sheets
Like a ship of perfect puzzle pieces floating in
A sea of a warm perfume all your own-
I dive into a scent I wish I could bottle up
Your essence to keep all for myself on those
Difficult nights we’re forced to be alone.

But for now just let me rest in your eyes,
A gaze neither awkward nor overwhelming,
But just enough to send the hooves of my heart
Stamping out of control and it’s all I can do
To maintain the few seconds of space between
My mouth and yours.
