From Where I Lay
May 31, 2007
From where I lay
The flames sway and dance
In the arch of your back
Forming a candelabra
Slide a finger
The way down your length
It could take me for years
Never dream of tiring
How can one boy
Be so elated
Just to be at your side
Even while you sleep quiet
Perfect sculpture
Imperfectly mine
Enough curves to lose count
One more as I start to smile
You are so still
What are you dreaming?
Of the future and me
Wonder will it make you stir
Beauty that hurts
And shakes the insides
Without even trying
Or even asking for it
I will be there
When you do awake
And ask for your embrace
To prove what I felt was real
