To Escape

Your scent still swirling around my every turn
Your sweat moistening my skin
The warmth of your body radiating heat over my skin
Your legs entagled with mine
Each clinging to escape pain from the past
Head pressing heavier as you drift off
So quickly into slumber
Peacefully wrapped in sleep
Safe Again
From the torment of our waking thoughts
With you draped over me like a favorite blanket
Sleep is so much deeper - an hour
And I'm rested
Looking at you snoring so sweetly and I am so overcome with the desire
To keep your peace through your waking hours - A cup of tea? A glass of water? A few more moments to sleep...
And then we are back to the pattern of the week, alarms and work and people needing our attention
And I am so thankful to slip back
Into the daydream
Where we are asleep again
