As You Sleep
By Richard Maxfield
3-29-2000

Laying next to you in the night
Listening to each breath you take
Feeling the warmth of your body

Eyes twitching, restless in sleep
I think of what you may dream
Fighting a battle only you know

To rescue you from the dream
Quite all fears give you peace
Longing to be where you are

As dreams pass deeper in sleep
I move in closer to cuddle a bit
Smelling your hair next to me

Rhythm of hearts beat as one
My breath my life my world
Do you feel my love so close

I want to wake you for a bit
Taste a kiss, feel your touch
I will be satisfied being close

Breaths taken at the same time
Sliding into sleep thinking of us
What will new dawns bring

I should keep this by my bed, as I often have nightmares, I loved this poem!!!

of someone else." Marilyn Monroe
