Love Poem: Asleep

Written by: Susan Covington

Asleep

Asleep as  his eyes closed in to a dream

Missing am i in his moments going by

Asleep as he lays not one sound as i sit at his side

Staring at his face of peaceful beauty

Does he know that i sit beside him as he lies asleep

Asleep as his hand near mine holds only still 

Should i move closer so he might fill 

Me
Asleep as he dreams of thee unknown quietly

Missing am i in his hours going by

Asleep as he lays not one movement as i memorize his eyes

Him

Asleep as i cant stand to sit so near to him

Asleep i want to be don't he see

That Asleep in his arms is were i dream awake to be

Him  Me

Asleep i just sit at his side to see him and wonder what he dreams

And wishing i keep to lay by his side and fall the same 

Asleep
