Grazing upon my lover’s sleeping I find my thoughts wandering as my fingers trace the lines of his face as if to memorize his stillness
I fill my lungs with his breathing, feed my veins with him
He is in my cells now, rushing and gushing, calming then stirring
Dizzy from our blue moon loving a million butterfly kisses flutter around his sleeping eyes and etch my name into his skin
