Slumber

i am the
delectable dreamer
of times past and possibilities of those to come
but you are a recurrent theme
intruding ever so sweetly 
on my sleeping thoughts
my daydreams
my life

each breath

now that your face has become
familiar to my
nighttime oasis

i can't help seeing your eyes
behind mine
