Sonnet 68 - Last A Nighttime

I’m looking for love to last a nighttime.
Long time, life time, forever – they’re too far
for me to reach.  When I get you home, I’m
not going to be able to see more

than now and again.  I want to learn how
you look by candle light, how your body
moves with mine.  I’m going to see you throw
your head back in passion, make you hungry

for more.  In the morning, I’ll watch you wake
and stretch and shine.  One sweet dawning dance done,
we’ll drink coffee on the front porch and make
plans to see us through lighter hours.  And when

our day is done - before that evening’s through -
I’ll want to steal another night with you.
