sleeping beauty

restless so early in the day

but i can't sleep

and i lay facing Her

watching this silent Beauty

pillow crease

faintly on Her cheek

lips soft, closed,

kissable

quiet breaths,

in

out

left hand on the pillow,

the eternal commitment circle on her lovely

third finger

connected to Her

heart

Her soul

as i watch this silent beauty

sleep peacefully,

my heart flutters

at the wonderment of

Our

partnership

now into marriage

Our souls so connected

We feel each other's

pains

know each other's

thoughts

finish each other's

sentences

contentment reigns over me

that this sleeping beauty

is mine to

behold

as long as i

breathe
