About This Poem

A Portrait of You



At night in my minds eye, I draw you.
I trace along your face while you sleep, softly and gently.
 I see your beauty, I feel your love.  
Your hair glistens, bright like moonbeams exploding.
Pastel skin, soft and smooth,  as warm as a setting sun
Beautiful lazuline eyes reflecting a blue moon night
Venetian Lips kept moist by an ever constant kiss 
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sleep tight for tomorrow is another you!

    I know romance must be the last thing on your mind, but this sings of it and love unbroken. Your last four lines are words of angels. love, Kathy
