Iris Blade Poet Free verse

Alone With You

I can hear you sigh
As you rustle the sheets,
Lost in a dream.
Sleep is evading me
So I lay 
With you
And look through my window
Not at the obsidian lake
Nor the candlelit roses
But at the luminescent moon
Beautiful in its solitude.

This certainly deserves a seven Iris Iris Blade April 26, 2017 at 10:50 AM Thank you, I am honored. I often stay up to write and the moon captures my imagination. I write my best poems alone with only the stars to keep me company.
