Next to You

Next to you.
Crown to sternum.
Tickled by tiny tresses.
Safely assuring safety.
Soft kisses between the brows.
Intention at the tips of fingers.
Gentleness behind every stroke.
Heart beating the sounds of raindrops.
Inhaling and exhaling in sync.
Warm breaths smelling of agape.
Nestling further into every crevice.
Awareness wavering.
Drifting deeper into your gaze.
Lips meeting where unsaid words come to die.
Defying distance.
Kindred souls reconciled.
Past transgressions cast away.
Next to you.
