- Sleep My Darling -

Through the open window strokes a light summer wind Lightweight summer curtains flap The sky with beautiful stars - shiny pearls I feel your breath against my forehead Pillow by pillow I was just listening to the night sounds A night of poetry Tenderness ... to be close A full moon night under the stars shine My love of mystery and imagination Promise me you dream of me When you sleep I kiss you gently 22.06.2014 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Anne Lise: This poem is rich in imagery and feeling. It takes one on an unforgettably beautiful trip. I love it. BTW, thanks for your kind comments regarding "My Everything." I treasure them. Paul (Forgive me if this is a duplicate post. My previous draft went "poof" as I was about to post it.)
