My Day (Time)

1 o'clock is mundane, Books, background noise Polished nails

3 o'clock weighs heavy On the lids of my eyes, Caffeine, ticking clock

5 o'clock takes me home, To our bed where I belong Next to my sleeping love.

8 o'clock little spoon, big spoon Skin, blankets, hot breathe Perfect serenity

10 o'clock see you later Kisses linger on my sleepy mouth Chaste, but comforting

3 o'clock waiting, restless, eager For my half to become whole With her return

7 o'clock togetherness blankets us My heart is complete When she is close

9 o'clock goodnight Off to work, I'll miss you I love you, sleep well

11 o'clock preparing little sister For the night, sleep or not
