An Ode to Him

I lie awake in bed

Unable to sleep

I turn to him

And watch as he resists

The drowsy temptation

Of the night

His arm, strong yet gentle

Wrapped around my waist

And I know I am safe

His skin is soft like velvet

Against mine

Bright blue eyes

Like the most beautiful zircon

Watching me

Then his soft lips part

And reveal a smile as white

As the creamiest pearls of the ocean

And I am lost in a trance

How I deserved someone so wonderful?
