When I drift off to sleep

I dream of

Wrapping my arms around your neck,

Feeling your hands discovering my ribs,

gripping my legs, and

tracing my spine,

 

Switching from sitting near you

to sleeping beside you,

Concealing our love under covers

for hours.

 

I dream of

Dancing with you and your subtle sway,

Trying not to notice as the hours,

and minutes,

and seconds

pass too fast for us.

 

Trying to persuade time to take back

its hurried departure,

so we can have a few moments,

a few precious moments,

longer.

 

I dream of

Brushing my cheek against yours

and sighing in sync

with overwhelming ecstasy.

 

Running my fingers through your hair,

and softly sketching my love on your skin.

 

I dream of

drowsy,

clumsy,

desperate

affections.

 

When I drift off to sleep,

my dear,

it seems

I always dream

of

you.
