You walk with me to
The brightest edge
Of sleep
Take my hand
And slip with me past
The precipice.
In my dream
I feel your whisper
Tickle the cup of my ear.
You are so close that
You are looking out
Through my eyes.
Tasting with my lips.
It is your breath
Filling my lungs.
I sigh and it is
Your sigh-
So much deeper
Than my own.
The light fades
On the black horizon
And I smell your scent
All around me.
In the dark you turn
And the pillows shift.
I feel you press against me.
I am suddenly awake
Nerves humming
Sweat beading
Awaiting
What's next.
