Sunday Night Requests (first draft)

[bitsofbeauty]

I gazed at you for an instant before
Gracefully feasting on your lips
And grieved the absence of daylight
against your dainty eyelids
and ragged cheeks

You looked so helpless in your corner of the bed
about to be ambushed with kisses
and caresses
of the exquisite kind
about to be robbed of momentary ecstasy

Then I kissed you
Without requesting to be kissed back
sucking and licking gently
As not to wake you again
My desire growing with every touch
And without ever having my fill
I, in turn, eventually settled into the night
And slept
