The Night's Watch

Night falls and now
My watch begins
I watch as you reach
For me, rough skin against soft

The stars appear and
I am wishing for your lips
Soft against my delicate
Pink skin, your tongue
To savor and to taste

The moon bears witness
To our joining
Hip to hip with sighs
And intimate groans
A nighttime mating

We love among twisted
Sheets and scattered pillows
Ecstasy compelled by
Bodies on fire with lust
And the need to complete

Strain and thrust we battle
Across the bed until with
Hand and cock you conquer me
And my watch ends beneath
Your guiding hands
