she lay sleeping
like Beauty
awaiting a kiss.
Leaning close
I can feel the warmness
of her breath
her eye lids
fluttering occasionally
in butterfly sleep;
up they flick
and down again
to pause
and then
flutter again.
The shoulders bare
below spaghetti straps,
the neck
in its curvature
roll across
the shoulder's landscape
to that rounded curve
atop
the arms peak.
The collar's place
swooped away
to right and left
before
floating down
to that space
above the breasts
where the slow breath
gives the topography
a rolling hill feel.
Can there be here
heavens' heights
from these rolling hills
up toward the crimson mouth
topped by haired piled
high
arrayed on the pillow scape
cloud like?
Can it be the cheeks
are mountain's flanks
kissed summer red
by my mouth?
I have not more
of wealth or need
than to lie here
and watch you sleep
the sleep that lovers sleep
heavenly;
complete.
