As She Slept

.

       The silhouette

           her brow

           her nose

            her lips

           her jowl
          that neck
     those shoulders

  what peeked out of
         the covers

     what I watched 
        as she slept
  in the pitch of night

L'Nass Shango May 20, 2009 at 11:05 AM Love has eyes that can see the things in the shadows of even eternity ... poets have love they use as keys to open infinity ... So scholarly done.

Carolyn Devonshire May 19, 2009 at 3:09 PM Such a lovely image painted here, James! You receive so much inspiration as you watch her sleep. Beautiful thoughts! Love, Carolyn

Izzy Gumbo May 19, 2009 at 7:14 AM James, this is awesome. I think that's LOVE too... when you can just watch someone while they sleep and drink up their every curve in your eyes. Bravo and you get my vote on romance!

Lena Townsend May 19, 2009 at 6:34 AM Awe, so sweet. Sounds like true love to me... or a Peeping Tom, LOL just kidding. Seriously, a wonderful write. To take such notice, shows that you care very deeply.What a lucky woman. Written from the heart. Well done. Smiles from Lolita
