Silent Friend

you again I hold tonight,
     so warm beneath the sheets.
passionate friend
     lover of night,
         mechanically we beat.

imagination's energy!
     you and I complete
this act of love
     in solitude.
          ah, it feels so sweet!

to touch, to hold
     in fantasy's role-
guilty in bed I cry
     a quiet song of gratitude
          that no one hears tonight.
