The Moment I Woke

I Lay in bed 
   coffee
      smoke
My dreams didn’t start
till the moment I woke
 
I’ve been awake
  wash
      eat
I dressed for work 
but just couldn’t leave
  
you brush a hand across my chest
unaware of my restlessness

fluttering eyes
   dream
        lay
your ears are uncovered 
do you hear what I say
 
whisper love
    touch
       purr
a kiss to your breast
a naked stir
 
you brush a hand across my chest
unaware of my restlessness

covers removed
    deep
      arc
I trace the spine
to the back of your heart
 
close my eyes
   tongue
          lips
I make a line
to curve of your hips

you brush a hand across my chest
unaware of my restlessness

stir and stretch
    stretch
         yawn
you open your eyes
to find I was gone

you Lay in bed
   coffee 
      smoke
your dreams didn’t start
till the moment I woke
