new shit

i do so love
lounging on your shedding couch
eyes closed, your hands
rinning through my hair
smoothing the strands straight,
twisting them into cords
and twining them
in and out
through your fingers.
I relish the moments
of smiling eye contact,
I want you
I love you
I'm having fun
and bubbling laughter,
grinning for no reason,
my head on your chest,
eyes locked, hands clasped
a comfortable embrace.

How do you love me?
with my eyes
my hands
my heart.
Why do you love me?
your kindness
your smile
your mouth on mine
When do you love me?
the hours spent
laughing, talking
do we need the words?
Do you love me?
of course.
