I sleep alone
Tonight
But when again my eyes gain sight
You’re there
Snowfall in the night
Lashes laid together
Untrodden white
Nearing forever
Fills my eyes
Fills my insides up
Like a child’s
Desiring outside
Each sleep sounded sigh
See
With you I need
To be
Thrown on my knees
Face to the sky
Hot smile in a cold breeze
With my
Tongue ready
And arms high
Breath heavy
Feeling flakes to my skin
That make something within
Scream for more and for less
And give in
That frozen magic to play in,
Foray in,
To lay in,
To pray I can stay in
But on the pillow,
There’s no way to begin
So
Laying
Instead
I take to your chest
Using your arms
Your hair
To cover the rest
My reality I wrap in
A blanket of your mapping
Frosted fingers lapping
At the edges of your chapped skin
Snowfall in the night
Stranded at the right site
With soft breath on my head
I’m almost outside in our bed
Flaked sorcery sheds
Overnight
Before me
Untouched white
And
Behind me
Life’s entirety
Out of mind
And
Out of sight
Backs to reality
Face in the sky
