In Your Sleep

Quiet in sleep you lie beside me, my lover Tranquil, relaxed, beauty astounding, And I watch you marvelling you love me. Years have transgressed against us both With me loving you even more each day. Life in your presence is such sweetness and joy Soulmates, journeying together, loving each other Supporting, encouraging, when one stumbles and falls Never questioning, rebuking when times are hard Always seeing light glimmering ahead in the darkness. You sigh wistfully in your sleep, call my name I kiss your forehead, you smile, and sigh again Time with you so precious and honeysuckle Your beauty of body and soul enraptures my heart.
