breathing love
*she sleeps wrapped around me like a beautiful glove
i stay awake for these moments
to hear her breathing like an angel in love
is there anything more precious
we hold hands and we are fused
together just so
we laugh and talk and we are amused
wherever we go
she turns my ninefold nightmares to dreams
with a sacred simple and gentle touch
she has stitched shut those ratty seams
that hurt me just too much
one girl, one woman and one perfect soul
and how do i pray for this
and how to maintain this righteous role
from pedestal to precipice
she breathes sweet breaths on my chest
as she sleeps
