Sleep with me

Cuddle me inside these warm blankets

It’s winter’s white cold out there

in weather and in people humanity

more and more

So hug me, let me feel your embrace

Caress my arms, gently

Feeling your warmth heating my body

Let me compass your breathing

And feel it slow down as you fall asleep

nothing more than silence and that dim light

that doesn’t oblige you to do anything

no time schedules of any kind

Let me close my eyes

and feel like we’re just one

Entangled like baby cats

touching innocently but strongly

let me feel your inner child

Feel that sexless fuzzy sweet vibe

We don’t need to have sex

We are just suspended in space

exchanging peace and timeless love

through our pores and molecules

so good to be aware of this comfort

nothing more needed, just the absence of thoughts

and this focus on the heat of your skin

In a state that conquers time

very close

almost too close

of the divine.
