It came from my head and my heart.

I lay here in bed, smoking my cigarette, watching you as you play your guitar. I want to touch you, but your eyes are closed, into your music, I’m afraid I would startle you. I do not know how to get your attention. Silly, I know, after all we are not new. As I gaze off into my smoke, I imagine…

I crawl over to you, wrap my legs around you, your back to my front. I kiss your neck and run my finger nails down your back.

Eyes in focus again, I lay there smoking my cigarette watching you and your guitar.

As a musician (formerly very active in bands), I can relate to this piece. I can only imagine how my wife must have felt in our courting days, watching me completely engrossed in my music, scarcely noticing that she was in the same zip code, much less the same room………..The imagery you’ve presented here is fantastic………
