Poetic Asides' prompt today involved writing a poem titled "Until _____." Here's my draft of this poem:
Until Forever
Arms lay across my chest
Wrapped around me
Opening my eyes takes an eternity
As I come out of the sea of warmth
Slowly and the dreams fade
Into the distance behind me
I become aware of the breathing
In sync – breathe in, breathe out
Repeated
The brown blanket raps around us
Creating pockets of heat
Skin upon skin
Hands clasped
We awaken
Slowly
Drifting from an island
In the sea of forever
To each other’s embrace
In this safe place
We hold each other
Until forever
