Senryu Romance

I awake embraced

       your warm breath tickles my ear

                I pretend to sleep



soft hand on my cheek

       eyes that hold me in their spell

                   ... my happy heart aches

very sweet the lines of interface, when love takes all of you... sidestep from the human race, thoughts of one are really true...
