moment

When I lie next to you
watching you sleep,
your skin is so soft and close
under my fingertips,
it makes me still
tremble with the memory
of desire.

I can feel your heart beat.

Nothing could add
to the perfection
of this moment.

How beautiful you are,
still smiling
like a dreaming sphinx,
shielding your secrets
behind your eyelids.

We've made eachother
breathless for hours.
My body feels
like liquid silk,
mesmerized and smooth
from your touch.

I close my eyes,
like I'm falling
and I wonder how
I have ever lived
without
you.
