Tonght It’s My Turn

From a collection of love poems

Tonight it’s my turn To be your soft pillow To cradle your head Upon my chest And hold you tightly In my blanketing arms

To feel your soft breath Against my neck And watch your sweet smile Reflect your very soul To have you so close And know that you dream

When finally I close my eyes To sleep And to search The dreamscape For you

Navigating by heartbeats True as any compass And by a hint of your scent Which compels me forward with every breath Then to find you Patiently standing there

My soul reflected in your eyes — Your eyes teasing the answer To the riddle I’ve never dared ask Tonight it’s my turn To be your soft pillow

May I give you a “Thank You” gift for reading my work?
