#dont wake me up

I fell asleep and into your arms

Lying there luxuriating in bed

In each other; raptly willing to watch those eyes

–More than anything any app could stream–

Surface rippling rivetingly

Intimating all that teems beneath

Yet somehow riveted on me

Heart-racing soul-stirring

Embracing as the flame burns hotter

Stroking innocently until the intent

Gains in momentum, in urgency

Only we’re not alone, witnesses surround

So we furtively glance around tickling

Ears with our murmurings

Plotting to sneak away…our stares

And sighs asking, why wait?

They matter too but not as much

As we do, as our untamable

Urges do, at this moment

If this be no more than a one-time

Wonderful dream detour

Another almost–but a bittersweet

Tantalizing taste

Would it be better preserved

That way or a crying shame waste?

Will I ever even have a say

When awake?
