I wake to find you sleeping on my breast,
your gentle breathing duets with this heart.
In silence do we find eternal rest,
where sunlight steers our course to play a part.
Sweet freesia threads between your silken hair,
strong heady scents engulf my sated mind.
Each velvet flower no lover could compare,
against the dew kissed skin of one so kind.
This treasured love is shared in gentle hours,
where angels serenade us with their wings.
Gold pollen dusts our lashes from the bowers,
the gentle hum of bees a slumber brings.
We twine and turn as honeysuckles do,
beneath soft clouds and skies of sapphire blue.
