A dream...

I awake to a misty morning.

Cool air, smell of rain

The sounds of the birds waking up.

 

Without opening my eyes,

I feel the warmth next to me,

Hear the rhythmic breathing.

 

My arm seeks to embrace

And I roll to my side

Our spines naturally forming the same curve

 

The first touch around the waist

Brings a snuggling

And a slight smile to your face

 

Dozing, on and off,

Our dreams intertwined?

Is it hours, days, years or even forever?

 

At some point, I trace a hip

And find a fullness of a breast

A hand runs done my side.

 

I can smell the familiar smells

I can taste a shoulder, a neck,

An earlobe.

 

We turn, find each other's lips and embrace fully Still half asleep Still half in dream

 

We open our eyes sleepily and look into each other's faces The deep brown of eyes Reflecting each other
