Blankets

Take time to think it over
I'll hide under the blankets
While you ponder

Take a breath or take a breather
I'll make us both some tea and 
You continue to ponder

When I speak, it's all disjointed
Like my words are dislocated limbs
I try to fit the pieces
Back together

I'm sending out my feelers
Feeling for a sense of rhythm but
I cannot feel your skin
Next to me

Open up your arms and 
Let the warmth back in
Where our bodies meet
Under the blankets heat
Is contained between our fingers
I'll hold on until they're numb
I don't want to ever let go
I love the way you make me feel
So contented
Under the blankets
