Rest in my arms just a while more
let slumber take flight as you dream of us
each promise given here between our vows
lends me the eternal prayer of beyond

let me watch you in slumber, gentle soul,
my fingertips to gently erase the creases
that taste yesterday’s brushes with tears
as you breathe upon the canvas softly

lain here against my warmth
I am hushed by the stillness of us;
the twine of you sinuous in the sultry heat
paused for this glow of tranquil

lust once laid in quicksand of desire wantonly
has now blossomed to more
than a sacrament of fevers glistening
haunting to the purity of now

now, I am changed..
tethered to each inhale and exhale
wanting the truth of us in every kiss
not just stolen days of road markers

so lay here with me and I will sing you a lullaby
of a wistful dream in decadent pearls
all in the caress of my skin on yours
made more precious of your lips on mine

in midnight’s hour
lost in hunger upon velvet
