u&i

queer-with-a-pen

you’re sleeping in my bed

warm under a pile of blankets

too far to reach from where

i am laying on the couch

wishing there were room 

enough on the small mattress

for both of us

 

and restless sleeper that i am

joints protesting with every

toss and turn

but that doesn’t matter

because you’re safe and warm

 

so near yet so far

and what a metaphor that is

huh?

 

i feel the same way when

laying on your bedroom floor

waking up before you

and listening to you sleep

thinking your snore

is the most beautiful sound

 

i want to reach out and

touch you then, too

be the first thing you see

when you wake up

and does that make me selfish?

 

it very well could

but i think i’m okay with that

as long as you’re the first

thing i get to see, too

 

and i don’t know if i 

believe in soulmates

but i believe in this moment

with your soft lips on mine

with our fingers intertwined

 

i believe in you and i

right here

right now

    How well put QWAP! Snoring turns from a nuisance to sweet music when sleeping with the beloved. This is reminiscent of my own romantic poem (August 2019) called "Asleep) on a similar theme. I invite you to take a look and comment. Amazing read!

      Thank you! Big fan of the word beloved. It carries so much emotion, for being a single word. Thank you for your kind words, and I will absolutely give your poem a read!
