I came to lay down by your side
propped my head up to watch you in slumber.
Taking all of you within my vision;
smile as your body rises and falls
with every slow sleepy breath you take.
Looking at your face my eyes trace every line
each contour mapped and put to memory.
The hint of a smile creeps across your lips
thought you were sleeping my love, but you are.
You are dreaming sweet dreams while you are sleeping.
Gently sliding my arm around you I move in close.
Holding your heart in my safe care I remember
soaring, entwined by the power of loves embrace
we fly together you and I in dreams that we share,
by what we hold within the essence of our souls.
I gave my heart as did you, we carefully placed our love
in the box hidden in our special secret place.
I am watching you sleep my love keeping my focus.
Riding the curves and dips of the coast road babe
following the white line of our life’s highway;
As you dream I am here just loving you
I draw in closer to the warmth of your body.
My hand I feel you squeeze and gently kiss
our love I feel even now while you are sleeping.

Deeply im beded visions sink in with the brilliantly penned words of emotions here the crown is yours

Wow, this is immensely visual. There is a lot of beauty in the words but the emotion is what stands out the most. It's one thing to love like that but quite another to put it into such eloquent terms. Lovely read. Can't wait to read more.

Lovely descriptions, drawing the reader into your quiet, happy reflections in the soft silvers of moonlight. Excellent "riding the curves and dips...following the white line of our life's highway." Delightful conclusion. A sense of treasured and trusted reciprocal love. Congrats on the gold.

This is beautifully penned, and has a special privacy of thoughts, looks,something some poems never share but I think the observing of each other in sleep, when you are in love is overlooked, and just taking the time to appreciate each other in this fast paced world..love as you describe should be given the treasure it is...And you have brought it out clearly, and beautifully...I like the dreaming....and how you expressed it and drew near and squeezed his hand....Times to be treasured and taken.....Lovely write

This is a very sweet love poem and very tender.
I really like these lines:
"Riding the curves and dips of the coast road babe
following the white line of our life’s highway;
As you dream I am here just loving you
I draw in closer to the warmth of your body."
Have you thought about ending it with those lines? They seem to be more powerful an ending than the last two you have....Just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

I hoped when I saw this title that it might be a poem just like this, I needed to read something gentle tonight, take my mind off..... well you know. Follow that white line mook, may it lead you to the garden of Eden.

wow, you have penned love
being awake and knowing the dreams of love in the slumber of of the one you love, surely his dreaming was a smile of loving in his sleep. he is alucky one he is, who awaits your sleep to love you in your dreams and wonders if your dreams were like his of you when sleeping. kind of dreaming awake or asleep that makes two lovers feel complete. wonderful write
