Love Poem

Your musk remnant on my pillow
Rouses me in the night
Roll over blind
Blanket mass
Eyesight fights
Radiator rattles competes with
Silence.
Makes my dreams incomplete.
***
In complete darkness
My heart thumping
My mattress a drum
Skipping beats.
***
In this state I find myself too often;
Restless body
I've become
Enshrouded in your essence
So I inhale
Savor the flavor
Grow dizzy on your fume
***
My bed
My small hell
***
Radiator laughs
Echoes through the empty room
Mocking me -
the lamenting poet
with his over-dramatized doom.
As I pen this poem
About how something so lovely
As Love
Can conquer and consume.
