Rising and falling with each breath,
As it slips between my parted lips,
In rest my eyes have drifted to close,
I feel the weight of his naked body pressed against me,
His head nestled upon my bare chest,
Our bodies only half entangled between cold sheets,
Chilled by an open window who’s air has quietly slithered inside,
Endearingly a smile peaks at the corners of my mouth,
My heart and soul content,
I lean my face ever so closely as not to disturb,
His skin notes of cedar wood and sage,
Affectionately I graze my fingers through his hair,
Pausing just to linger as I trace my finger delicately along the edge of his ear,
His body now heavy in slumber,
He’s tucked his arm between the warmth of my legs,
His palm on my thigh,
Unbeknownst to him in his dream state he stays protective,
I lay blissfully enchanted of his raw authentic self,
Afraid to fall asleep and it all be but a fantasy,
Moonlight dances between tilted blinds,
Enough to see each freckle painted across his exposed shoulder,
I wrap my legs into his just a little tighter,
As if love could emanate any more lustfully from my soul,
Embracing my defender in the light of night,
For every bit he is my masculine,
I am his nurturer,
Unbridled passion even at times of twilight...
Opening my eyes I pull my knees to my chest,
I can smell summer as it dances whimsically across my senses,
Alone in my room,
As of now, though I may not know him yet,
I know with every ounce of my being,
I’d wait a lifetime for it to be exactly what it was always meant to be,
Never settling for anything less.
