the subtle rise and fall
of your back as you
inhale — exhale;
your lungs gently cradling
the oxygen that lulls
you to sleep.
I miss
being able to tuck your tangles
of hair behind your ears
my 'tips — touching;
gliding gently down your spine
then returning
to your skull.
I miss
the strand of stringed saliva
that slowly dances
from lips — to cheek;
as your open mouth
and your tight eyes
paint you in peace.
I miss
the confusion on your face
as your exhalation wakes
your dream — huh;
as you groggily ask
what has happened and
I giggle.
I miss
your sleepy protests as
the banshee alarm
blares — alerts;
it demands for us to greet
a new day and you demand
five more minutes.
I miss
the subconscious roll
towards my icy side of the bed
arms stretched — grasping;
pulling me closer as your
half-alert lips curl
into a contented smile.
