00-Beauty Sleeping Poem by Anthony D Bailey

For Vicki W

I watched you briefly last night while you slept.
And marvelled at your perfection as the time crept.

Though your hair was tangled your looks suffered not.
With your lips, full and inviting, I just adore that spot.

Your body divine, while breathing rose and fell.
More gracefully than do a calm ocean's swell.

You are my beauty sleeping but so rarely do I see.
How heavenly, serene and gorgeous my darling can be.

I realised how much I love you, and could easily have wept.
While I watched you briefly, last night while you slept.
