You are sleeping
And I watch you breathe
Watch your face in its repose
Memorizing each feature
I love to watch you sleep

Your face relaxed in slumber
You lie quietly on my shoulder
I can kiss you softly and you don't stir
I don't disturb you at all
For you sleep

These are the special times
When I can study you to my content
When I can luxuriate in the joy
Of holding you within my arms
While you sleep

I cannot love you more than I do
But I love you in a different, quieter way
In these precious moments of peace
Holding you as you hold me too
Before I fall asleep

This has a nice, dreamy feel to it and flows in such a relaxed manner. Very, very lovely!

How soft and gentle...
I love those moments just before you nod off.
That wonderful close warm feeling...
holding the one you love.
Enjoyed this so much!

Pepper darling sister of my soul this is utterly divine, as always your writing far surpasses the mere brilliant and is superb. You know I love this, that is a given of course.

The lines are truly exquisite and YOU know I utterly utterly love it. Why is it, do you suppose, that your writing always passes over the mere ordinary and soars into wonderment? Well, whatever the reason I utterly utterly love it. And whenever the moon casts her silver glow there is your pen dipping into the silver and writing your name in its moonbeams. This is utterly utterly wonderful and I love it love it love it

Don’t stay away so long darling heart I miss your writing more than you could possibly know. And this is superb as your writing always is. Welcome home

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

I love the soft gentle feel of this sleepy poem, Pepper....almost like satin sheets in print.

Pepper Hi there Mushy’s eldest daughter here Your writing is incredibly beautiful carrying within it an indefinable quality that shows the worth of the love. We all have our favourite writers, Mum adores your writing as you know, and I can see why YOU are incredibly talented. Your writing is incredibly descriptive and well presented. YOU are one of the stars that light the heavens.

This is superb writing, and it will stay with me for I’m keeping this special treasure piece of yours.

Love and warm stuff
As always

Pepper,
I would agree with Krissy. The images you painted are indelibly printed on my mind.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
