Ten Thousand Nights

Ten thousand nights I've lain by you,
Lulled in the dark by the
Gentle rhythm of your breath.
Curled together, often;
At times apart,
Rigid with anger, or in tears.

In dreams, I've wandered away.

Love is not measured in the
Mornings that you reach for me,
And yet
Long habit bears fruit.
Ten thousand nights and always
Have I lain with you, my love.
