Rest against me
lean your chin on my
shoulder-
and read your book of
sonnets to me
I'll close my eyes
so I can
hear the words clearly
and feel
your breath on my skin
smell your hair, soft, next to me
surround me with all of your
senses
make the
words on the page come alive
all around us, deeply
take me to another place
so I can
wake up into a dream
instead of from one
