a poem for my beloved i wrote recently

Sleeping lover

Sleeping lover

i realized something just now.
i realized something as i was staring into the sleeping eyes of my lover.
If i were to actually die today, this very second
I would die a very loved and happy soul.
Everyday i have someone who is telling me he loves me
Everyone of his kisses tells me I'm beautiful.
most days i don't see it.
I get so caught up in jealousy of the past
that i cant see the future
the many more futures of lying asleep with my lover
I've realized something tonight.
I'm truly, utterly, can't back out, in love.

This is a charming and delightful poem, Starr, and one that is most beautifully expressed. Being in love with someone is the most wonderful feeling in the world, especially if that love is equally returned. I liked the sincerity in this superb poem. Carl.
