sleeping beside you

morning comes too fast
when the day carries you off,
a timed tide to reality
that does a sand wash
on the simple splendid
of the night shared.

its not that i do not count
the breathless moments,
the frenzy of flesh,
or the crystalline kisses
you drop to my lips
like cumulus cotton candy.

no.

it is that sleeping beside you,
feeling a place to nestle
that may have been carved for me,
settling like a sated kitten
i almost drift down
and feel the hook of an ankle
around mine,
that sleeping you do not know
you have even done.

Your way to say
i need you
you're back
be with me woman
and that is all the cover i need
for comfort
when I am sleeping
beside you.
