I Know... I watch you sleeping and I know the first touch on your skin should be my own. I watch you stir from sleep and I know the first kiss on your lips will be for me alone. I watch your eyes open and I know that sighed slow hint of smile is for my eyes alone. I watch your lips part and I know the warmth of your mouth will lead me on. I watch your eyes close and I know within your heart I have found a place to call my own. Evan Drake |

When watching someone sleeping you can know and feel so much and you obviously know this and feel this. I like it. Subtle yet passionate. Thanks! |

Evan, This was a great poem. It is always so peaceful to watch someone you love sleep. Bring to mind such tender feelings. Very romantic writing here. Welcome to Passions!! Looking forward to reading more of your work. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Yes, Richard, you simply know all is as it should be when you even get a thrill out of watching her sleep! Thank you for the kind notice. Thanks, Bill, you're always welcome, and I will do my best to keep you entertained with verse. Lone Wolf, "peaceful"...perfect word for a perfectly tranquil feeling. Thank you for the welcome and the words of encouragement. Evan |

Butterflies, sometimes a word weave is all that will quiet a mind. It means a lot to watch it enjoyed. Thank you , Evan Paula, if this verse takes you and your love between night's sheets just a tad earlier...wow...mission accomplished! |
