THE NAUSEATING SWEETNESS OF A LOVE POEM

THE NAUSEATING SWEETNESS OF A LOVE POTION

(Author: Unknown)

While I sleep your arms have stretched across me

And my heartbeat is all you could possibly hear

Meanwhile all I can hear is the sound of your breathing

And the highlighting shadows of this pre-dawn repose

Fall across your well-kissed face

I have given you the blankets for you are mine

And your warm naked softness is a remarkable paradox

Of your great strength and vulnerability

Was it really me that made me this happy

From fear of anything waking me from this perfect rest

Even my own movements, I stay awake and guard you through the night

If I could see the future I’d say that someday we would have beautiful babies

Or that you’ll hate me for everything I’ve done

I might for see the happiest portion of our life together

Or the bitter fights of our departure

However all I can see right now is how much I love you

I fear I have gone mad

I ask people if they know where I am

And if they can see you holding my hands

Since I can’t trust my sense

I fear I have gone mad

And that your voice is the phantom of my insanity

In my head that sings me to my doom

I fear I have gone mad

Discovering in a dream your smiles

And my favorite place in your arms between your breasts

I fear I have gone mad

For the mad certainly seem happy

My kids have been out of the house for 3 nights now.... Staying at Grandma's... it's the longest they've ever been away from me and the house is so quite and kinda sad.  On the bright side it's given me and the hubby a chance to bond again... no not in the dirty way lol.  We have had some real quality alone time.  It's been nice :)
