A sharp intake of breath as she sees him lying there

His dark skin a stark contrast to her skin so fair

She smiles at his peacefulness not wanting to disturb

yet desires burning brightly are hard for her to curb

She kneels down beside him, reaching out to trace

down his body just wanting to embrace

hand not really touching, yet feeling every curve

the contours of the body she finds pleasure to observe

She watches his breaths as they rise and fall

a rhythm of peace as she tries to recall

The last time she enjoyed just watching him sleep

A memory she holds dear and intends to keep

There are times when just watching are enough for her

and as she seemingly fades He hears her whisper

Sweet dreams my love…sleep well…

I do not vanish…within you I dwell

When you awake you will find me inside

Merging as one as two souls collide.
