O, how I wish for more of you with me,
Lace dress for night to hide your sweet delight,
O, how I long this time always to be,
Caress so soft and you still sleep the night,
O, Sun the creeps into our room with beams,
Slowly it grows to the brightness of day,
O, show her real and as lovely as dreams,
Waking not now for she’s going to stay,
No place to rush to be except with me,
Sleeping she moves brushes her hair from face
O, sweet sleeper my dream’s reality
I could spend the day in this time and place,
She Rolls over away from the daybreak,
I’d Watch forever if she’d never wake.

Ah Bill....this one is a beauty and much reminded me of one of my favourites by Keats.


"And still she slept an azure-lidded sleep
In blanched linen, smooth, and lavender'd."

*Happy Holidays, Nancy*
