Hold Me Longer

 
Brown eyes
Half closed
Smile at me
With a sleepy smile
My fingertips
Curled
In your hair

Our naked skin
Touching
Warm and soft

Legs

Wrapped around
Nuzzle your forehead
On my chest

Lips

Little kisses
On my flesh
The more familiar
Becomes your touch
The more my heart
Grows fonder


And
Although
The reddening light
Of morning rise
Is pushing
Through our window

Baby

Before the day
Breaks our embrace
Please linger…

And
Hold me
A little
Longer
