daylight savings time

a small tender mercy,
given one more hour
in a night that transformed me
my own skin feels delicious
was it always this soft,
and why did I not notice such
until i felt his hands trail it,
and why was each moment
so new,
so sweet,
and being held in brilliant regard
is drugging to the senses,
and i knew
that this is why i was afraid.
the cynic might say
any port in a storm,
but i wonder what a cynic would say
once they felt the amazing warm of you
covering every piece
that had quaked in the cold,
turn orchid lavish
where words were few
and you went beneath my skin
in a way I will never find the words for,
but hug to myself
in the last hour given me,
daylight savings time
means one more hour
to keep this night
and lie miles away
in the blushing amber light
you gave me
by the innocent smile
of a thousand stars
we never saw.
Too busy i think
looking at each other.
