Bases Covered.

Stay with me, just a moment longer. Savoring. The suspended moment sweeter for it. Closed lids. A stolen doze. Eyes opened, no less rested. A heart closed, no less wanting. Stay with me, just a moment longer. Steal time like bases. First. For a second.

Anything but a ghost runner on third.

Stay with me, just a moment longer? Arm draped, leg wrapped, face nestled. Grace the envy of ice cream. Melting. Ghost runner on third slides into home. Open your closed eyes love, bury them in mine. Know, if you know know nothing else, that you’re always safe at home.
