Sleeping Without You

I slide into bed His body forms to mine Sheets extend over me His skin so soft Resting my head on a pillow The beating of his heart Puts me to sleep I awaken Nude Just a single strand of his hair Left on an untouched pillow

Now my wife and I both snore so loudly that our best bet is to be far enough away to have to dial one and the area code to speak. This poem was sweet though. God Bless. Vince

You paint a sad picture with your words. Imagery with great depth of emotion. You are truly an artist. So well done. Love, Shar
