AS YOU LAY IN QUIET NIGHT

As you lay in quiet night,

Alone with thought

And memory

Do you remember times,

When blood ran hot,

Reaching fever pitch,

Of desire and ecstasy,

Raising now in the dark,

A corporeal remembrance

So real and necessary,

So loving,

That you let it in,

Relived it,

As you lay alone?
