As I lay in your arms
I feel the warmth of your body
The smell of your cologne
The way you touch my face
Trying to hold back tomorrow
Which is but a few hours away
In the darkness I can hear you breathe
So peaceful so quiet so serene
I softly touch your lips
As you lay quietly in my arms
Yes!!! In the darkness
In the moment
There’s only NOW
We laugh at the silliest things
Forgetting there’s a world outside
Beyond you and I
The shadow of daylight called night
Gives us time to see each other
As I slowly taste a strawberry
That gently leaves your fingertips
Please time stand still stand still
Wouldn’t you know it
Daylight has opened its’ eyes
If only to take a peek
I hear morning call its’ name
As the birds begin to sing
The dew lay gently on blades of grass
My thoughts however
Rests in the midnight hours
As I carve that moment in time
As yours as mine
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If we lay quietly we can still hear
LOVE
In the midnight hours
