Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Moonlit Silhouette

veiled in moonlight
I see your contour
I draw your lines
as they oscillate
with every breath

barely visible
if not for the subtlety
of your steady
and unfaltering
rhythmic breathing

like a soothing wave
undulating with your pulse
sweet silent murmur

Andrew Fairchild February 11, 2019 at 11:18 AM Oo! Nice! A gentle, quiet picture of your Beloved! Reminds me of when I used to wake up, and just watch my Laurie, breathing. Only then, could I go back to sleep! Line Gauthier February 11, 2019 at 11:33 AM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and touching comment, Andrew.
