I hear you coming,
footsteps that echo from the hall
I wait patiently
The floor creaks your arrival
warning me and reminding me
I expect soon you will cover
me with kisses
a precious string of pearls
standing in the doorway
your silhouette carved black into
the yellow glow
the aurora borealis caresses
your shoulders
If I could save this moment
this piece of time
I love you now
I feign sleep
you step towards me
and turn out the light.
