thinking of this...

awakened in the night
by the sound of your slumber
the rise and fall of your chest
drawing life through your dry lips

reaching to touch 
my fingertips find you
and drink in the feel
of your delicate skin

your hand finds mine
still dreaming, you guide me
to pull you close
our bodies combining

you stir for a moment
then sigh as you tumble
back into sleep
and smiling, so do i
