I lie here snug
Waiting for you
Listening
I hear bottles clinking
On bathroom tiles
Tap water gushing
And over the top
Your sing song voice
Phrases from a song
We’ve just been singing
I lie here snug
Waiting for you
Aching
Quiet now the industrious noises
I can feel my excitement rising
I look to the door
Peeping over the covers
And there you appear
Framed by the light behind you
Your cuprous halo blazes
Click out the hall light
A hop and a skip
Now peel back the covers
I feel you slide in next to me
Your body as chilled
As mine’s been warmed
Waiting for you
My body electric to your touch
As you wrap your limbs around mine
I love you sweetheart
Draw you to me
And savour deeply
Your freshmint kiss
beautiful
