Your warm breath against my neck
and your hand
scribing lazy sigils
down my arm,
my waist,
my hip.

This is what makes it all worthwhile

This closeness that is so seductive so all encompassing.

I hold my breath, trying not to move, trying not to breathe at all
so that I
do not shatter this silence.

You sleep, yet you know I am here.

I feel the

length

of your thighs against the
back of my legs, the

warmth

of your belly against my back.

You murmur
and kiss my shoulder
in your sleep.

I am
silkyliquidvelvet and full
of love.
