Blissful Thinking

Thoughts of sultry southern nights,
wrapped in your arms and nothing else,
recalling the rise and fall of your chest
as I drifted in and out of consciousness
 with the rhythm of your sleep. 
Remembering our yesterdays, in thoughts 
of strawberry Pop-Tart picnics
spent on love-stained, morning-after sheets.
