I Let Her Sleep

In the chilly
pre-dawn February,
I hear her
gentle, soft breathing;

not quite a snore,
but a rumble
of blissful narcosis.

I curl up
with her,
our bodies
warm and soft
under a light
spread
of blankets.

This is intentional
so snuggling
and cuddling
is inevitable.

I hold her close
and let her sleep,
taking care
not to poke her,
prod her
with my insistent,
implacable
erection.

I let her sleep
because
that is more urgent,
more needed
and I love her
that much.

  3. I love the kindness in your love poem, especially in the lines:
    'I hear her
    gentle, soft breathing;

    not quite a snore,
    but a rumble
    of blissful narcosis'
    and
    'I hold her close
    and let her sleep,
    taking care
    not to poke her,
    prod her' :)
