Old Love

Ten thousands of nights ~
we have lain together ~

Each night I have been touching you ~
near the center of you ~
as we drifted, drifted into sleep ~
Ten thousands of nights. ~

And of the days the same ~
One hundred thousands of ~
daily drifting touches ~
hands, shoulders, lips, hips ~

mostly, deliciously, tender now ~
and so sweet ~
so sweet
