Lover’s dusk

The rise and fall

Of the curve of your back

Fades with the light of dusk

And all I’m left with

Is the sound of your breathing

And the smile I only get

When I’m near you.

You wake

And the sleep that held you

Falls to the floor

With a simple stretch

And your tired eyes

Find mine

And we hold a gaze for a

Moment

Before we turn

into the night.
