Strands of hair cascade your face,
Landing in your eyes and dipping into your pleasant sleeping smile
Your gentle breath is enough to keep me occupied
Watching as you dream,
Wondering what flickers behind your shut eyelids, so soft and fair,
And hidden by graceful dark lashes
Long legs curled beneath you
In a silent, entrancing repose
A perfect tiny hand below your head,
Temporary pillow for your brief rest
My gaze never leaves your figure,
Peacefully sleeping just a few inches away
My love I dare not try to wake,
For you are too beautiful, tonight.
