A little idea that just came to me one day when I was trying
to write something else.

                         -A.

One More Revolution
-------------------

I wake to the sight of you,
Of your face while you sleep,
Just lying
               there.

Next to me.

And I know this can't last.

But the look in your eyes as they open
Still means everything,

And a gentle kiss
Over breakfast
Is not soon forgotten.


A few stolen minutes
From the petty frustrations
Of a dead-end day.

I eat my lunch,
But the birds get most of yours.

(You never eat enough, you know.)

They take to the sky
And I realise that I
Never
Noticed
The way your hair looks in the sunlight.


The nights are getting colder lately.

You clasp your hands
In mine,
And we laugh
At the silly names we give to the stars.

For a moment our eyes
       meet,
Your breath catches,
And I wonder if you know
What that does to me?


Later,
In the darkness,
I remember
The warmth of your skin
On my lips.

The condensation drips
Down
The window,
And I realise that the moon is setting.


And it's just one more revolution of the world.
