Breathe
I lie
here
watching
the moonlight
drench your skin
with light
and shadows
in just the right
places
it kisses your
skin
a caress
the sight
stealing my breath
from me
as I watch you sleep
peaceful
serene
I touch
my fingertips
to your spine
softly
not to awaken
but to feel
each breath you take
