So she wanted to watch a movie with me tonight at around 8:30. Arrived prompt and punctual and knocked. And knocked. At 8:45 I tested her door and found it unlocked. Cautiously and with much fear I opened the door and poked my head inside. “Hello?” I said softly into the dimly lit room. There was no answer save for the peaceful silence that permeates the atmosphere of a place blessed with beauty at rest. There, upon her couch, she lay, completely at peace and fast asleep with the barest trace of a smile upon her lips. I quietly closed the door and went to visit a friend, my eyes moist and heart aching. Oh, what exquisite pain.
-Original Work-
Hush, for now beauty rests
Her body rising and falling
Waxing and waning
With the tide of
Each content sigh
Whispering past
Barely parted lips
An almost imperceptible
Smile shining dimly
Upon her countenance.
What a peaceful creature lies
Before my sight!
I will depart
Quietly for fear of
Waking her.
For to do so
Would be as
Breaking the very night.
Rest and dream sweetly,
For I wish
To see the sun
Rise twice in my sky.
