MY BELOVED SLEEPS

MY BELOVED SLEEPS

i awaken, and look over in the faint light

to see his hair laying gently across the pillow

i see his chest, rising and falling
with his gentle breathing

i want to touch his cheek, caress his brow,
but dare not, so as not to waken him

he is my prince, my knight, my soulmate

he knows not my thoughts as i gaze at him
in the soft light filtering through the window

he cannot feel the love i have for him as he sleeps,
ever so sweetly

it is enough just to watch him sleep,
to know he is there, beside me

light of day will bring it's own joys and pleasures,
but for now...............

i will watch him sleep,
and love him all the while...............
