Breaths of Romance

R hythm of breaths flows through me as you sleep O bserving this quietude like a buoyant river M eandering far past the waves of dreams-- A nd I gaze at how your chest rises and falls N ear my fluid arms… a midnight bidding me closer T o dare awaken the stars within your eyes: I n this rare moment, my lips but gently hushes, C harmed by the pause of love’s afterglow.
