fingers sketch
ebony skin
cloaked in soft moonlight
unaware
of my lingering gaze
he sighs
as in his dreams
he sleeps
dim shadows fall
to capture striking face
adorned in the half-light
illuminated
and ever so slightly
he stirs
as in the night
he sleeps
velvety lips converge
upon his own
where in the bed we share
tucked
beneath sheets of silk
he smiles
and in my arms
he wakes
In a list
Please tell me what you think

This is beautiful and so pillowy soft
"he smiles
and in my arms
he wakes"...love that!

This poem just makes my eyes go soft...I liked the image of the lover's skin being sketched by his/her partners eyes and fingers....like finger-painting with love! Loved the soft sensual tones here, smiles...and of course "in my arms he wakes". Lovely pillow-poetry.
Thank you for posting it in my contest.

This is such a sensuous write, I like how you use your fingertips in the night as a way to communicate with your lover. This reflects a very comfortable romance and something as simple as tracing over the skin......wow.
And the comfort in "and in my arms
he wakes" does it for me.

This poem follows the contest guidelines to the "T."
Such a soft piece. The imagery and romance puts me in a mood. A sign of a well-written poem in my opinion. You made me "feel" something and that is good!
