I never knew
that a simple square invention
could be a palace for our existence
a palace
which grants every item on our wish list
like 1 arm around my waist
2 arms around your neck
and 3 kisses per second
180 per minute.
Infinite stares, flirtatious glares,
and every single task completed in pairs.
Never alone.
a place where hands don't reach for phones
your chest a safety zone.
Never alone.
Our bodies in sync
the space between us
leaves me no room to think
just sink into the covers
while natural scents hover above lovers
that's us.
Lust finds us on occasion
when tousled are the blankets
and removed are the sheets
when cold weather finds us
and we create heat
touching feet and entertaining ears
with deepest thoughts and utmost fears
wiping eyes when they birth tears
through years - no mirrors are in sight
'cuz looking at one another reflects the light.
All the light we need
feed me with your words
and no matter how many times you repeat them
it's like something I've never heard.
Absurd how such a small place can keep me content
how my senses can dance to your skinful scent.
Repent and pray and always delay when we have to get up.
The worlds not important
when I canŐt feel your touch.
So much love for this queen thing
that makes me fiend for sleep
white cotton, satin sheets and comfortable heat.
Greet me every night
letŐs delay the light
no time for fights
just 3 feet heights off the floor,
locked handle on door, and more time to rest.
Lying next to me is best
caressing my head
letŐs live in this simple square invention, this palace, our bed.
