i see you like a dinosaur in the night
oh how i want to jump on your back
whisper in your ear
and leave this barren place
i wish i could trust you enough
to not even ask where we were headed
to just let you run free
with my eyes closed
and my hair whipping ’round
our open and happy faces

the cars roar and spit outside our window
leaving us tired and confused in their wakes

i remember the first time i saw your hooded face
and you my covered body
now, years later, with our fingers touching
we drown out the traffic with our smiles
our strawberry lit features so complimentary
yet still worlds away from peace
your scales ripping pieces of my bone white flesh
my talons digging holes in your sides
though i can still hear you over the rumble
and you don't mind telling me twice

so many love letters, yet no love words in sight
except for the most simple of terms…goodnight

very nice!!!!

And a Goodnight it is

Dearest Goodnight,

i see you're sleeping
on the couch
when i did not get a chance to say, Goodnight,

you seem comfortable
and i am still
awake though tired
stop to caress and
look
in too sleepy eyes

my eyes

very nice
