9.23

02.04.19, 9.23am

As I was waking up to reality, reluctantly coming out 

of my avatar state the smell of clean sheets softly tip-

toed itself onto my face and danced its way up to my 

nose. Birds were singing at the window and you moved  

your sleeping hand to rest it gently on top of mine.

 

Your yielding skin cocooned my back, my legs. your 

gentle breath warming the base of my neck. Thoughts 

began to enter my mind, thoughts that would put an 

end to the utopia we had found. I didn’t want to think 

about work yet. I didn’t want to think about clothes yet.

 

I wanted to nestle into you even deeper. I wanted to 

feel you so intensely through my skin that I would seep

into yours and bathe in the core of your being. You lifted 

your head a little, opened your eyes to check the time 

and I cried inside please don't ruin it yet. 

 

"It's 9.23, Amore” he whispered

"It's 9.23, but this feels like home”.

It's moments like these we need to bathe ourselves in, before morning ushers us into the stark reality of life. I love the soft sensual appeal to this that swallows me whole. Beautiful piece, LauraKate!

this is the perfect home....in each other's arms.
and i love the line "I don't want to think about clothes yet"
because putting those on means getting back to life...from this peaceful, sensual utopia we have to leave.
