Waking, pale sun burning away the smoky remnants of my dreams of you. These memories of delightful daydreams. I create a universe where your spine is steel and our love is a featherbed in a castle. Our heat fills the cold stones as greyhounds and bulldogs share the halls with young boys laughter and the smells of tea and toast. I know you devour me while I sleep the same way I consume you while you bathe, soaking up every fold and freckle, memorizing every precious contour. Waking, your pale skin burning away shadows of the past, my strong hands rest on your waiting hips. The boys and dogs come tumbling into our morning oasis with bony little elbows and bad breath and laughter like heavens manna. This is my now. You are my forever. We are eternal.

Waking with you
Waking, pale sun burning away the smoky remnants of my dreams of you. These memories of delightful daydreams. I create a universe where your spine is steel and our love is a featherbed in a castle. Our heat fills the cold stones as greyhounds and bulldogs share the halls with young boys laughter and the smells of tea and toast. I know you devour me while I sleep the same way I consume you while you bathe, soaking up every fold and freckle, memorizing every precious contour. Waking, your pale skin burning away shadows of the past, my strong hands rest on your waiting hips. The boys and dogs come tumbling into our morning oasis with bony little elbows and bad breath and laughter like heavens manna. This is my now. You are my forever. We are eternal.
