anticipation

As I lie in bed 

on the edge of sleep

I smell your scent

on my skin

and a thrill runs 

through my body

a shiver

a throb 

a longing

sweet anticipation 

of what is to come

delicious suspense

yearning

and not knowing.

What will we make together? 

I embrace the uncertainty of it all 
as I fall into the arms of sleep.
