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

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.

Such a lovely image painted here, James! You receive so much inspiration as you watch her sleep. Beautiful thoughts! Love, Carolyn

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!

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
