I Dream You

the sunlight dances  
its way through the clouds outside  
and shades within  
to find my eyelids and caress them open  
and the first thing I see is you  
quiet and still  
your beloved face against the pillow  
a half smile on your lips  
a remnant  
of some pleasant dream  
perhaps of me  
I reach over  
and run my fingers  
across the stubble of your cheek  
and enjoy the response  
as you move into the touch  
and snuggle up to me  
soon you will awaken  
and your thoughts may be  
of chores needed doing  
of trips and directions  
of work and worry  
but in this moment  
you are all mine  
in this fantasy of my mind
