I lick my lips
For the residual sweetness
Of remembered kisses
Smiling
In the darkness
Languishing on sheets
In solitary thought
With a tune whispered
Like a prayer
To Aphrodite
A red rose
Lay at her feet
My Lady of Love
Who smirks darkly
At the irony
Sinuous stretch
Like a tiger
Or a snake
In the grass
I burrow
The rain drips
staccato beats
Above my head
Fuzzy blankets
Snuggle
On the shores of dream
I cut the anchor line
And drift without fear
Into the deep blue
Of night
