Your warm breath,
moist and scented
with peppermint
and last nights wine,
slips past my ear.
My cheek, pressed
tightly to your breast
feels the muted beat
of your inner life.
I dare not sleep
for if I do
when I awake
I'll not find you,
beside me.
You will be gone
from out my sight
and simply vanished
in darkest night,
while I slept.
My love for you
grows stronger
each and every day.
Our conversations
become harder
as your memory
slips away.
I say I love you
and you say the same
but when we
wake tomorrow
will you still know
my name?
Feelings
You warm my life
with your infinite smile.
The sound of your voice
stirs me.
Melodious tones echo in my
head as you speak.
I am overcome by the
moment.
