Close quarters

Close quarters

Huddled together in each others arms
We keep warm meeting our lips
On colder days we burned older poems
Unwrapped the sweaters on your hips
To keep our hands warm against each other
When we kissed I knew you’d be my lover

We slept on adjoining steps to keep watch
Got cautious when the snoring stop
Bi-weekly battling back pain
Trying to stay dry when it rain

We would separate to make you shelter eligible
It hurt me to my heart, I’m telling you
To see those eyes on those days
Your smiling face and simple waves
Reminded me of you
Beautiful.

Even when we found accommodations
Quarters were close too close for relations
I just wanted to snuggle with you
For all we been through
I never would have made it, that’s true
I’m thirsty for more so time to drink you
So that you and I can become we
Enjoying any quarters no mater how close they may be.
