R & R

the week flew by
so we loved each other in passing
no deposits or withdrawals
we saved those transactions
for the weekend

for time on the sofa
hidden beneath covers
catching up on friendship
practicing being lovers
opening up our hearts
to see what’s undiscovered
exchanging smiles and touches
getting to know each other
all over

we begin by staring out the window
looking at the moment
she counts sprinting raindrops
and wonders where they're going
why they fall in such a rush
and if they ever feel
lonely

i squeeze her close
and smell remnants of her shower
i cuddle up the subtle hints
of aloe & baby powder
tucking them away like secrets
to be revisited in an hour

we both use fire fingers
to stroke each others skin
strumming warm affection
igniting sparks and tingling

not burning with desire
this is chillaxtion 101
the tv watches us fall asleep
during the Jefferson's marathon

as we lay entangled
with her listening to my chest
i can't help but dream about
how much better life will get
next weekend
