Body Heat

I had the fine good fortune this evening to be reminded of the pleasures of returning to a bed warmed by the heat of a boon companion.

You've been up, to pee, to get a glass of water, so your own skin is slightly chilled. You slip under the comforter, and embrace, skin to skin, that lovely heat, that willing flesh.

Grateful I am, after heartache and worse, to still have within me the capacity to build this oppurtunity, the time to use it, the heart to feel it, the words to express it.
