like sunlight through the clouds I had set the old guitar against the freshly painted stone coloured wall and leaned into the furs draped over my worn leather chair. she lifted her upper body slowly from my bed across the room, her hair was a tangled mess of brunette wonder – i loved it that way. the sheets were twisted about, yet neatly tucked just above her breasts.
with half squinting, barely awake eyes of mascara mess, she spoke with a smoky velvet voice
baby, what are you doing?
i've been traveling all morning
from that chair?
yes, this chair and your beauty have taken me to far away places
now there lover, come crawl under these linens with me there is no more need to dream.
