Day 19 - Command

 Good afternoon. Today has been a day of relaxation and calm so I've actually been able to think clearly about the prompt for once. Today's prompt comes from the Napowrimo main site where we are asked to write a poem based on some sort of command. From the simple to the absurd, it can be any form of command we please. So I chose something simple:

Stay

here, wrapped in each other;
legs a bramble of limb and blanket 
while the faint sun peaks 
between gap in curtains to see us 
entwined in one another.

Hands running through hair, 
lips grazing skin.
Lost in this moment of us 
become one - our metamorphosis.
Us, here and unmoving

drunk on each other's scent - 
which is to say; we are the fire and 
the smoke of a romance. I hear you 
breathe out my name. I sing an 
aria of yours in response.
