I rolled over this morning
And smelled the last traces
Of your perfume on my pillow,
Reminding me that
My parents should go
To the movies more often.
2.
Eclipse
If I were to ask you,
During the lunar eclipse,
To steal back into the woods,
Would you give up the moon
For the rest of the millennium,
And a few quiet moments in my arms?
3.
Early Morning
The night wind rises,
Drawing me back to your musky fragrance.
I lie awake,
Waiting for you to stir.
4.
Reverie
What slender belly lies waiting
To snatch me from my reverie?
