half asleep kisses

i lie here in this
bed- alone.
shut my eyes
see the colours-
yellow.
gold.

and i'm smiling as they resurrect your face

resurrect those mornings

your heat
your arms
my hands up around your neck
and in your hair
my head on your chest
slow
tired
half asleep kisses

i can hear your heart
sweetheart

and mine.

our heat
your hands
slow
tender
half asleep kisses

tangled sheets
skin on skin
the morning creeps it's gold
through dosing curtains

and you can hear my heart

in a bed, too small
for the both of us-
but perfect.
