Forever On This Page

How peaceful you look
lying naked and silent in my sheets.

The scent of lavender floating around the ceiling.

Your bare back adorned with my graffiti
rising and falling with every slow breathe.

And I write...

Sitting across the room still wearing
the silk that you didn't care to remove
too hungry for my frame...

The red glow of the candle by the bed
illuminating the pages in front of me
as I try to capture the memory of you
forever on this page.
