Talking in Bed
Here we lie in an unconscious state
ignoring the world as it passes by.
There lying, I want so much to speak
but every word that cross my view
meager for what your smile says of you.
No action could make their impossible meaning read
No frame could hold view to what my arms see
I do not care what the sun thinks
moving her way across the sky searching for a hole to peak
every call to my name I put on hold
and to hers I grasp. Keep from cold.
She dares not move for this moment shall never end
not by the lips on my face.
What more could be said
than the way we have made this bed?
As well as your eyes with glimmering care
this could be cotton, but most likely air
we both know this moment must come to truth,
not with my words, nor yours.
In solitude who am I to talk to?
My thoughts speak to the hope of my dreams.
