I need to curl up on the couch.
(It's big enough for two.)
I need to trace my fingers laced
between the lines of you.
I want your nose to notice
the oils that I donned.
Even though you won't be here--
still I dab them on.
I want to feel my legs in tangle
rubbing legs in crickets song
Entertwined in touch divine
I'll be soft. You be strong.
Let's watch the travel channel
and dream of what could be--
stroke my head and kiss my throat
fingertips adrift at sea...

Hold me, listen, tell me tales--
secrets you have kept in jail...
tell me, show me everything--
I can be so comforting.

I'll rock you--
sing you lullabyes.
I'll ease the pain.
I'll hypnotize...
I'll look so far into your eyes
and never blink until sun's rise.

So come beneath the blanket please.
Surely you will come with me.
Let us have a war of knees--
as we do not watch tv...

My couch is big enough for four. *grins* Tell you what.  I'll come over to your house tonight, and we can use your couch. And tomorrow night, you can come over to my house.  And you can bring some friends.  And we can use my couch.  Sound good?  *grins*  I thought so.

Ser..this is just lovely.   I need a couch partner like that!  

Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

Taking a travel through the channels, now there's a thought!  (Clicking off that remote and dimming the switch)  I enjoyed the cozy feel of this.

Really nice writing Serenity.
