this is something i originally posted in Dark, since that is about the only place i post in. but, as you will see, this is not dark at all. so i thought maybe i'd try posting it elsewhere, but didn't want to get lost in 0pen. i like the smaller crowds.   Hope you like!

I wake up
beside you
as dawn breaks
over the horizon
and watch you
sleep
Moments quickly
slipping into hours
Afraid to breathe
too deeply
or move
Not wanting to lose
this stolen moment
of simple pleasure
I can't help but stare
and admire
the peaceful expression
of contented slumber
that rests upon
your tranquil face
I watch you breathe
your chest rising
and falling
in the same rythmn
that lulled me
the night before
Realizing
I hadn't slept
that good in years
I run my fingers
ever so gently
through your hair
Thinking
I could do this;
wake up beside you
and watch you
every morining
for the rest of my life
You stir
slightly
but do not wake
I move in
closer to you
You wrap yourself
around me
And kiss me once
upon my neck
I smile
and fall
back into sleep

thank you koon. simple and heavenly is exactly what i wanted it to be. for that is what those moments are to me. and i must say, yes, i am lucky.
spyro-my thanks to you too. for the wonderful welcome and comments. you are too kind. my talents lean more towards the "dark" side. but i will definately drop in when i have these happier inspirations. i am sure i will like it here. it seems good company.
many thanks again to you both!

Good, a little TOO sweet, LOL, but I liked the imagery and gauzy feel to it. Personally, one of my fave things to do is watch someone while they sleep. All barriers are down and the truth surfaces beyond all the facades of waking.
