As My Lover Sleeps

By Sharon

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I stand silently by the bed and watch You breathe softly as you sleep Fully naked in the moonlight This is a memory I’ll keep Furiously we loved tonight As though it would be our last Forgetting we have no future Not remembering our separate past No man has ever taken me To that place we often go Ecstasy was a foreign place And I had no passport to show Your tenderness in my taking Gave me gasps of wanton pleasure With each thrust of your hips Sealing my love’s precious treasure Completely and with abandon I gave into your every desire Blushing now at my boldness Marveling at your fire Your eyes that burned into my heart Are closed in satisfaction’s sleep And so I turn and leave you here Knowing you are not mine to keep Written December 15th, 2001 © on Dec 15 2001 11:05 AM PST   0 • 16
