Poem Commentary

sort of a day dream i have a lot........ :)

As I Watch You Sleep

Curled up on the car seat, the landscape flashing by,

I watch you sleep beside me, laying against my legs.

So sweet your face is now, peaceful,

devoid of stress or sadness. . . .

I watch you sleep.

 

Your slow deep breathing is a song,

a small smile on my lips.

Your eyelids shut, concealing your brown eyes,

though I do not long gazing into them.

Your warmth is soft and precious on my thighs,

and I sigh; so sweet your slumber is. . . . .

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
