Midnight

Seizuring so as if escaping from fright

You awoke suddenly around midnight

Then rolled over, meeting my body halfway

By habit, drew nearer and kissed me straight away.

Your cheek, always soft, nestled against mine.

Your wandering hand came to rest upon my thigh.

In my ear, your breath came like wind rushing.

By the touch of your tepid skin, I sensed flushing.

My eyes perused you in the moonlight

Convincing me for a moment that all was right.

You fell again to sleep peacefully it seemed

Perhaps to dream that time a pleasant dream.
