asleep next to me

unaware because i was taken
by a glowing box
you stumbled in with pouty lips and sleepy eyes
you'd go first
kiss
good night

peace
a soft glow upon your face
shadows beget light
magnifies your presence

the thunder in my chest tells me
reach over and love her
comb her hair and touch her face
with your sinful hands and fingers

dare i cast my clumsy pebble
into my pond of beauty and simplicity?

tug o' war
because you're
asleep next to me
