Sleeping Beauty

as you breathe
falling then rising
your chest
like counting 
heartbeats
sleeping with you

a very 
beautiful dream
one joy
in beholding
each breath
a whisper

a moment
in time
staring upon you
each sleeping movement
falling in grace
that of a thousand swans
a royal beauty

i dream 
in softest petals
breathtakingly beautiful
feelings cotton soft
stored in one's mind
awake with you
my darling
as you 
sleep
