Friday

Friday morning has come
and I know that I will be with you
tonight, in the white
room, with the white sheets
and the windows open,
and it could get cold enough for
a blanket, but I will wrap myself
in the sheets and warm myself
with the heat coming off your skin.
Its like being on an island alone sometimes,
when I lie awake and watch you sleep
and my heart is so near to bursting
with love for you.
There's no one to tell it to
not even you, sleeping boy,
no one to share the weight
of this need I have for you.
Its heavy and desperate in the dark hours
and I ache over it
until I slip into sleep.  

Come morning, when the sun rises
and so do you, I forget how hard it is
to love you this much, and I kiss your face
happy and thankful and relieved that
you are mine.
