good night
don't stay up
too late
finish your chapter
savor
your mints
and sip
warm green tea
I want to hear you
quietly disrobe
hum softly
as the shower
runs to steamy
barely sense
light steps padding
across the carpet
the sigh and press
of our mattress
I want to hear
you whisper
ever so softly
are you asleep?
and to know
should I answer
is an invitation
to sweat elation
