Curl Into Me
For Poppy’s Prompts | #6, June edition
It started on a whim, with sunshine in my dream.
One single hairpin, one golden earring.
Curled up into you, with skin to skin vibes,
Sweat dripping, heat simmering, no breeze.
White crispy bedsheet on a double-sized kingbed,
Curled around, swishing swaddles, slow breathing,
Incessant kissing,
Flowing fleetingly foamy love, ~
Good morning, my love!
It started on a whim, us waltzing in a dream,
A memory of swans, a lake with diamond surface,
At dawn break we would finally embrace, and sleep,
Your familiar touch would caress me to drowsiness,
My eyes already small and a smile on my face,
one more kiss.
My curled hair spread out on the pillow,
Bedsheets still fresh, but a little crumpled,
sort of a beautiful minimalist mess,
Apple pie snacks on the bedside chair,
Quince wine still cold, the glasses half full,
Some bits of cheese on a silver plate,
Faint music playing in the background,
Massage oil slowly seeping into my skin,
The best feeling is with you.
Our love so supreme! ~
Curl into me, baby,
let's fly to the stars,
And fall asleep soundly into each other's arms.
