Time was lost

I led next to you watching you sleep.

Your eyes rapidly moving behind

tightly closed eyelids

Were you dreaming?

I watched the rise and fall of your chest

with each intake of breath.

Our bodies pressed together.

Am I over you or are you over me?

Fingertips caressing the contour of your body,
Tracing lines, memorising every touch

and learning of those spots that
make you smile and laugh.  That

make you shiver. That make you aroused.

Teasing of lips as they brush one

another gently, softly, fervently.
Moments passed into minutes. As minutes

turned into hours.  As time was lost.
