(in answer to Stephan Bouwer)
You now lie with an arm intimate over me,
your snoring sounds as if you purr next to me
where you make the hairs on my body rise,
in your dreams you do come into my thoughts.
You turn around against me
draw me still nearer in your sleep,
where your head come to rest on my breast
and tired I also want to rest like you,
there is bliss in the cosy nearness,
I can feel your breath blowing sweet against my cheek,
disappearing in a world away from what is real
and the intensity of our love does amaze me
as everywhere in everything I do find you time and again,
and even our thoughts do synchronize.
