As I watch her sleep
The moonlight seeps in from the window
And caresses her skin gently, just like I wish I could
Her eyelids flutter, chasing another dream
Causing her eyelashes to touch her cheek and go
Her chest rises and falls, so calm
Unaware of all the world's filth, her innocence hugs her like a white nightgown
She purses and moves her lips in silent speech
Those two rose petals that would be any gardeners delight
And when I say her name Even the sound floats like a feather
And lands softly on her ears
Only to roll off of them as she sleeps
and I keep on staring at my dream as she dreams away
