Your whisper
of "Goodnight, Sweetheart," as I slowly surrender 
to twilight slumber---sliver of heaven!

The sound of your "Good Morning," 
at the break of dawn as Morpheus releases 
his hold on me---sliver of heaven!

You, leaping into my arms
and wrapping your legs around my waist.
Your way of welcoming me home---sliver of heaven!

Thoughts and dreams of you 
when you're near or far;
no matter what time of the day---sliver of heaven!

Your soft kisses upon my lips 
and brow, your loving arms, 
warmly enfolding me---sliver of heaven!

The look of sheer love 
in your soulful eyes, bewitching me;
penetrating the core of my soul---sliver of heaven!

Your fingertips
tenderly brushing my skin. Ah, the loveliness 
of your beautiful smile---sliver of heaven!

Glowing in my heart like the sun,
your dulcet words of "I love you" 
as you're leaving my sight---sliver of heaven!

Beautifully penned, Edward. I think this is one of my favorites of your romantic poems. Love the defining phrase, "sliver of Heaven" at the end of each stanza. Congratulations on your first place win!
