Love Poems At Bedtime (Poetry)

15th June 2025
I wonder if
all those miles away
and in the dark of night
you can feel me reading you —
my eyes warming to your words
my lips making involuntary sounds
of disturbing discovery

Thoughts turning with the pages
as you become more real
absorbed line by line
until I suffer from
a kind of sensual overload
that seems too much
for a first meeting
                        of minds

I decide then
for sanity’s sweet sake
I must ration you
while I still have the will
to be vaguely sensible
so put down the book
switch off your vibe
and try to go to sleep ...
