Lying Still Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lying still in the middle of the night, listening to your heart
beating with my head gently upon your chest, my love, looking
at your peaceful face as you lie sleeping peacefully.

Not wanting to kiss your lips, just feeling your body close to
mine while making love passionately and wonderfully in the
throes of our love and desires.

Wanting so badly to awaken you, but knowing that you're
sleeping so soundly, not wanting to wake you, being content
to just lie here, listening to your dear heart beating.

Knowing that through the love you will have when your eyes
flutter open and you reach for me, that all the waiting for
your passion to meet mine as we once again share our love
together.
