waking thoughts

stubborn lids will resist
those first bits of light,
sweet languor
leaving behind a dream
and the memory
of your skin soft,
then urgent against me.

I burrow again in the blanket,
knowing that duties
will steal the last bit of glow,
knowing the day will rob me
of the last glimmer
of your loving imprint,
and wanting not to let you go.

You are not the only one
who trails regret
with fingertips
when sleep brings an end to speech,
and I know that life intrudes,
but how I hate
when it intrudes with you.
