It is cold, tonight;
outside, the wind snarls, rattling the doors,
looking for a way in, but
here,
I feel your warmth.
In the center of the bed we share, we sometimes meet,
entwining limbs, trading secrets, trading heat, then
recoiling,
wary of the flame.
We turn away and sleep,
back touching back.

back touching back.
Unfortunate that that's the only way to get some sleep. :-D
A poem that warms on a chilly autumn day - thanks for that.
