SLEEP
While you were sleeping
I sat by your bed
I watched you as you smiled through your dreams
I traced your perfect shell like ear,
Touched every curl on your head.
I tried to sleep but the sound of your breathing-
drew me back to you.
I couldn’t resist ---
The magic which tugged at my heartstrings and brought-
me to your side.
I settled on the floor once again ,back against the wall
Holding your hand in mine.
While you were sleeping I fell in love with you -
all over again.
I laughed myself to happy tears,
Suddenly I woke up to understand these are my dreams,
I was thinking of you when I slept.
