conscious...

we collapse, exhausted in each others arms
drifting quickly into a pleasant slumber
images of you permiate my dreams
i can feel you clenching me tight,
not wanting you to let go,
ever.
i feel your gentle kisses
running up and down my neck and arms
am i asleep?
i am hovering between
sleep and consciousness
i nestle into your chest and
pull your arms tighter
i stare at your unshaven morning scruff
your hair tousled from the previous evening
the sunlight over your body
your green eyes glistening,
smiling
knowing
i am thinking only of you at this
precise moment in time.
