Illianna Wolfsong Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 (edited) Another 3 AM, and as usual, I sit awake. I long to lie in your arms listening. You never knew did you? Of all those 3 AMs with you, few found me sleeping, But my troubles faded to nothing with the sound of your body. Oh, how I miss the smell of you. Just to breathe you in, to feel you flood my lungs, To taste the echo of your goodnight kiss on my lips. There is no place I would rather lie awake Than within the envelope of your body heat. As I sit here, alone, I can see the silhouette of your body Partially hidden by a loosely draped sheet. Every shadowed feature of your face, every tangle of your hair Etched forever in my mind To see again and again in the lonely hours before the dawn. I ache to feel the sweaty hotspots of your skin Pressed to mine, unmoving for hours. To start to drift into sleep and be awakened By the reflexive twitching of your fingers As you move through each new dream. My bed is a solemn and sorry substitute for yours. My pillow doesn't cradle my head The way the hollow below your collar bone does. One heartbeat does not dance in chaotic rhythm As yours and mine together do. I sit here, avoiding my lonely bed and I wonder, Do your twitching fingers dance around In search of my body as you dream? I would gladly slide beneath them Even if only for this 3 AM.

Peredhil Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 welcome in a big way. That's eloquent and evocative of the security found sleeping by another. I hope to see more of your works. -Peredhil
Valdar and Astralis Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Huzzah! I was wondering if you were ever going to pop your head in here or not!
