ghosts

Last night we slept uneasy.
We were both being chased.
I saw humans with blurred faces
they crept into the house and moved slowly.
Yours wore dark sunglasses
and jogged with headphones.
My hand found yours under the blanket.
Your feet curled around mine
and by the morning
your cheek was pressed against my nose
and I couldn’t see past your beloved face
to my demons anymore.

    oh how achingly romantic.. it left me with the feeling of being wrapped in a blanket hot from the dryer, so soothing and comfortable. nothing is better than snuggling the one you love, and yes, it chases away all the madmen. beautiful as always, jessica.

    So incredibly beautiful – deep sighs indeed! That’s really the kind of love we all yearn for – one that trusts another with your deepest fears, even your nightmares and knows the beloved will take them away!! Lovely!
