don't stay up

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
