in
the room of my heart
firelight
makes shadows dance

wide awake
I move slowly
as though
I am dreaming

remaining still
lest you
dart past my hands
a frightened minnow

in
soft darkness
the city lights
your face

eyes
finding my own
breathing
upon embers

with this flame
upon the hearth
the room
is warm and safe

with you
inside my heart
my mind
is a different place

I fall
asleep
with your smile
on my lips

slowly
as though
dreaming
within a dream.

[I am]beginning to notice that I use fish as imagery in a lot of poems.
