I suppose one tends to get cheesy when one becomes enamoured by another person in such a way...I just can't help it.
***********
My lover sleeps.
Gently breathing in the smells of this room
Eyes darting below closed lids
Darting through legions of thoughts
Waging battles within
I know not his trials
I do not face his troubles
Although I do feel them…
My lover dreams.
His breath becomes heavier than before
His heart beats faster with every new image
Still foreign to me
I lightly trace one eager finger
Along the curve of his shoulder
And his neck…
My lover stirs.
Yet does not awaken
And so my vigil continues
I feel an alteration in my own breath
Which soon matches his
I want to tell him things
I want to explore the many dimensions of him
Instead, in this moment,
I lightly kiss the nape of his neck
And continue to watch him as he sleeps.
My lover is beautiful
And I wonder if I can truly know such beauty
There are echoes in my mind
Of my physical state, nakedness
I am stripped of my fears, left with my battles.
I am enamoured and on fire
As my lover sleeps peacefully.
