It's easy to find new things to touch, push, discover
and coax to some joyous end.
The back of a knee, a wrist, my lover,
it's easy to find new things.
To touch, push, discover
you under me dear, is yet another
pleasure that moves me to contend
it's easy to find new things to touch, push, discover
and coax to some joyous end.
7 am
Delirious morning red
shines scattered, tracing
you and me
as shadows on your bed.
A minute more, a minute
more to touch and sigh,
blink sleep from heavy eyes
and consider memory
still wet and new
and me and you
as shadows on your bed.
