As a reader, I feel as though I'm intruding, as though I'm a shadow on your bedroom wall--who really doesn't mind intruding.

I don't like "tis" and the poem reads like a "suddenly" poem in some spots, but in a way, that makes it all the more intimate.

The poet

needs to clean his specs before he writes! I love this poem because it portrays the scene so perfectly (and I oughta know). Its intimacy comes, I think, from the loving tone used to describe such ordinary events and the detail given to observation of seemingly forgettable moments. Mostly I love it though because it so accurately captures the extraordinary closeness the poet and his lover share. :)

Sweetness, I'm telling ya! I really enjoyed this, eagle. I could picture it all.

It was a little wordy for a poem but I'm left smiling. Thank you for sharing! :)

Oops...I almost forgot. I believe there's two misspelled words. You may want to do a quick edit.

I agree.....

.....with Eve. I read this and felt as I often have after reading other intensely personal work, slightly uneasy as if I should have looked away.

Your prose preference is showing here - but that's just your style, man. :-)

Thanks for sharing this. I think it's love.

The night is in verse,

The day more like prose;

But you pull it together

As night's thoughts intrude

Into day's waking moments.
