bosporous hug

i propped my elbows
inches from your body
i could feel the heat radiating
from you warming me in
the chill air of the morning
my finger nail lightly tracing
your tattos feeling their
grainy uprising against the smooth
i saw your heart beating
beneath your skin moving the muscles
around it lifting your chest every
second i watched your neck.....
your little peninsula of skin
rising....waiting for my little finger
to surround it like a body of water
i heard your breath deepen
as sleep fell upon you and your legs
relaxed intertwined with mine yet
my breasts pressed into your arm
i fell asleep
