Bed

We lie
Together
On the bed,
The wooden
Headboard slats
Are dark,
Smooth wood,
We are just
Enjoying the silent
Company of the other.
My mind is a thousand
Miles away on thoughts
Far removed from
Here and now,
Then she touches
My face stroking
My cheek.
I blink awake and
Run my hand along
Her hip and leg,
Turn toward her
And kiss her
Cheek.
A simple
Exchange of
Affection
But the most
Important
Thing in
My life.
