On Certain Nights ~ 10-3-01

On certain nights
When I am lying awake,
in bed...alone...
sheets virgin white
ceremoniously starched, pressed,
stretched and tugged flat
coolly caressing me.
I think of you.

Even though,
I don’t yet know you.

I think of you and
you come.
You come...
delving into me.
I only know you
by the spastic little
spasms that make you
shudder as you dip into me.
Your fingers -
memorizing my every
curve.
My fingers -
coming alive -hypersensitive-
as I encircle you.

We tango in liquid motion;
The choreographer’s wet dream
goes on for hours
wrinkling starched sheets.
Even our breathing
puffing perfectly
in sync.

Moonlight finds us
entwined...exhausted...
you singing softly,
lullabies in my ear;
me drifting off to dreams.

On certain mornings
When I awake,
in bed...alone...
sheets virgin white
ceremoniously pressed, starched,
stretched and tugged flat
coolly caressing me.
I don’t yet know you
so I consent to dream
a little while longer.
