the chill of the early morning 
thaws within your sprawl
as you lock me tight with an angled thigh 
and delicate paw

as your chest pulsates ever so slightly
in its gentle ebb and flow
i nestle in ever tightly 
comfort in your refusal to let go

while my thoughts stir
a wake from hibernation
i concede to life horizontal
immobilisation

a stroke to your side
a moan and a sigh
one fleeting moment 
as we stare, eye to eye

then your lip curls upward 
and your eyes slant
as i take in the gaze
of the only girl i'll ever want
