I lie beside your pale still limbs
sounds of the city night
(passing cars a blues band in the bar next door)
drift in your open window
twisting the restless sheet
you hung there
before you met me.
I can't sleep - I watch you silently
wanting to pull you from your warm bed,
drive you to the lake and talk
until dawn, shivering on dewy picnic tables,
but you're already
talking
in your sleep

Instead I'll watch you resting
soundlessly, and when you reach for me
in your dream,
I'll realize
I am already
in love
and
oh,
this
is dangerous.

Dangerous and wonderous Love is all these things. Really enjoyed the poem.  

"difference between love and comfortis that comfort's more reliable and true
Brutal and mocking but always therea crutch for enmity's saddest glare"
