Leave The Rest to Me

Rest with me however you abide.

Lose the sock on your right foot,

and the duty is mine.

Press your nude skin to my very 

left,

and we are both satisfied with 

warmth in due time.

Close your eyes against the back 

of my mind, holding on to me—

reverting night and sunrise.

Be with the consolation you need,

experiencing us as I have

when we change positions 

throughout

the night.
