My Newest Addiction by Red Adley

As you sleep

I watch your face

the face of my Angel

yet I'm running late...

Your breathing---peaceful

the head resting to the right

lids closed tight,

I wonder what you're dreaming?

I'm close enough to smell you...

a sweet, peach scent.

Perhaps it's your soap,

it's part of my addiction, your smell-I'm bent.

I've no time for sleep---but I want to watch.

The eyelashes twitch, at times.

The sheet only covers your core.

I pull it up to your shoulders, so you'll have more.

You exhale, reach for me like I'm Adam.

I mold to you and you gather me close.

I kiss the soft lips, inhaling the sweet stale breath.

Sleeping beside you: that's my new addiction.
