Not Exactly a Poem~An excerpt from the book I wrote
It's barely dawn outside..I hear the whirring of the fan before I even realize I am awake. The first rays of sunlight creep in our bedroom window and without opening my eyes, I imagine that it has cast a gentle orange-pink light on the wall behind our bed. It's warm on my eyelids. My eyes remain closed when I roll over and lazily reach an arm out to find you..but you are out of my reach. If must have been warm last night because you've managed to work your way to the far side of the bed, just about as close to the fan as you could get.. I open my eyes just slightly.. I giggle quietly. My eyes gaze over you. I love the crazy way your hair starts to curl when you've slept hard. I run my fingers absentmindedly through your hair, and down the back of your neck, noticing every freckle. I've seen them all before, and I feel like I've memorized every one.Your skin is warm and smells faintly like the cologne you put on last night.I trace your freckles down your back, and your skin gets those little goose-bumps that you get when I touch you ever-so-softly...Your body tenses just slightly. I pause, not wanting to wake you. I don't want to ruin this moment. I love watching you sleep. I watch your chest rise and fall from behind you, listen to your slow and even breathing. You are peaceful, and there is nothing that makes me happier than looking at you and knowing that you're sleeping well. I think about our lives together, and what we've been through. It hasn't been an easy road for us. There have been many obstacles, but in the end, like you always had promised me, it was worth it.
I love the way the sunlight hits your skin, making your body look strong and inviting to curl up next to. I kiss your neck, and you moan in approval, essentially unaware that I am there.. I coax you onto your back... I can't help but be taken by how gorgeous you are. I still have to stop and pinch myself to realize that you really are mine, and that I don't have to wish for you to be with me anymore, that you are here. I am content. I have everything I've ever wanted. I know that you are dreaming.. and I.... I am dreaming with my eyes open. <3
