The Thing About Love, A Poetic Book of Poems

Sleep and My Sweet

Your breathe falls lightly on my neck
A gentle hand across my chest
Your face so peaceful as you sleep
Wrapped in your arms, I am blessed

I fear the dark
But with you I'm at peace
Our legs intertwined
The fears will cease

I feel you shift
My hand runs through your hair
Your body relaxes
As we breathe in each others air

My chest to your chest
Our foreheads together
My hand on your cheek
Light as a feather

The sight of you warms me
Calms me and relaxes
To trust me so deeply
A love without taxes

I feel my eyelids falling
I know I don't have much time
To soak in the last bit of you
Before I see you again in the daytime

Your eyes slowly open
And you stare right at me
Your hand runs through my hair
Your hand rests on my cheek
