Yellow,
not quite though,
undimming slow and sure,
gentle rise and fall,
slight slope from shoulder to spine to...
your toes are warm,
tipping over some scenario behind your sleeping eyes.
Leaning over, close to smell your dreams,
warm breath,
content repetition that is my intoxication.
Sheets slip,
pillows pin me to this spot.
I know there are word for this,
If only I had them.

Small minds lay names because they don't understand and could never hope to.
Sociopathic skill sets prevent them. Love your poem Nicki.-Ted
I love the way you write, Nicki. Your images of comfort and closeness are very tender and especially poignant since you haven't had this in your live for a very, very long time. I hope someday you will find someone who will make you feel this way.
I find the "anonymous" comment to be cowardly, ignorant and uncreative. Love~Mom
I meant "life."
