Watching As You Sleep

Waking up before you
Won’t move a muscle

A quick turn within sheets
A nearly quiet rustle

Watching as you sleep
Head lying in palm

The lines on your face
A story at its calm

So many questions to wonder
What is it you’re dreaming of?

Where is it that you have gone?
Is it a place that you love?

It’s enough to just watch
But then I move in closer

You arm comes around me
Becoming my enclosure

As I listen to you breathe
I, too, close my eyes

It’s soothing and it’s simple
Oh, how time flies

My Heart Beating In Haste

That sweet simple face
The way your lips taste
My heart beating in haste

Fingers tracing through hair
Hands run over skin bare
My eyes meet your stare

Curve of your neck so right
All senses seem in flight
My breath becomes slight

Quickly two become one
Push to the sound of drums
To the night we succumb
