i guess it’s best

if you were here i’d ask you

what would you like for breakfast?

will cheese omlettes do?

we’d lie back and talk in bed

for ages, curled up amongst the sheets

waking each other up in turn

then curling back to sleep

i’d get you a big mug

of steaming hot coffee

cradle your head and let you take little sips

with your eyes still shut and be

totally mesmerized by your soft lips

i’d lean in close and smell your hair

kiss you

and whisper again in your ear

say silly things on this lazy morning

            let’s go away somewhere

                        like the mountains blue

for which we’ve been yearning

or say

with my hand on your ribcage

i’ll never stop lusting after you

or caressing your fingers

i know what i feel for you

is true

i’d say

such

stupid things

no

 it’d never do
