While He Was Sleeping

I ask that you all read this slowly…feel it…take the time to understand it.​

I remember one night, the lights were low,
He was already sleeping --
I crept into bed,
Didn’t make a sound,
Gazed upon his face --
I had to smile.
To see him asleep -- my heart’s content,
So quiet, so tender,
Without fear, without complaint,
So innocent, so mine.
I loved him more while he was sleeping,
I could admire the slight curve of his lips,
And imagine the glimmer in his eyes
When the sun would wake him.
I didn’t sleep that night,
So caught up in the simplicity --
His heartbeat, his little breaths,
The way he stirred,
I took it all in.
Every night, he’d fall asleep -- unknowing
Of my watchful eyes,
Of my beating heart,
Of my infinite love.
I think if he knew, he too
Would close his eyes and wish
That we could dream forever…

I loved it, i was submerged in the sights your poem drew for me, i liked the end too, sooo charming and warm and ....all that stuff .

 

A very imaginative and inspiring moment that you share while he dreams. It reminds me of a poem I read a while back with the same subject...

Hava a happy day!

I read it slowly, with patience, waiting for an outcome;
and I saw love, the purest of all.
I envy the one who slept while you thought
the colors of this perfect melody, written with a
heart worth of admiration.
Increíblemente bella.
Saludos,
