All the sky is clear tonight
your warmth is on my chest.
My arm around your waist is tight.
Your lips at my behest.

Your eyes are sleeping--so I see.
Your breathing shallow is
and you belong to only me.
No need to steal a kiss.

My mind is clear for once tonight
no clouds have ruined its course
and I am holding you real tight
I the very first.

And you are lying silently
within my strong embrace
and I would like the world to see
my face so near your face.

My eyes are troubled not tonight
with mists that cause a spill
and linger on your skin so white
sometimes against my will.

But if my will has lost tonight
and made them languish there,
I'll kiss you silently tonight
though you be unaware.

Very beautiful.  Just to watch our loved ones while they sleep is wonderful.  I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.
