lie beside me

come here and lie beside me.
don't say a word.
lie close to me, let me feel
your skin,
your lips, your hair.
i almost lost you for another.
no words can describe
such a loss,
such a scare.
come here and lie beside me.
don't say a word.
we'll make love in
the morning, and linger,
listening to the trees
out side, now full, and
swimming with birds.
