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 ...
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 ...
