When I wake at night to watch you sleeping,
a sense of wonder and excitement reigns.
Gone are the lonely years of my weeping,
silenced by the whisper of love's refrains.
Of gentle moans slipping from searching lips,
as wanton need glistens in shining eyes.
Craving the rise and fall of thrusting hips,
to elicit the most delicious cries.
In the afterglow I am left amazed,
by the sincere depth of love's expression.
And in a hushed sigh, contentment is phrased,
no longer suffering from oppression.
The calm waters of your love, crest and tide.
And I dear heart, am locked safely inside.

This is for the love of my life, Chris
