almost

sitting in bed

the fan over my head is blowing

air around and around this room

and all the moments spin

slowly with each rotation

you lying in bed next to me with your hands

on my skin

the way you breathe deeply when your heart

is thumping

soft eyes looking down at me

as i sit on my sheets and look up

lying side by side on the floor

and reveling in the power of touch

sitting in the dark light

and writing poetry for you

i can almost feel your arms around me
