A Poem by XinHyun

how i wake up from my naps with him in my arms, just thinking my thoughts

your soft breathing fills my ears
the breath I feel on the edge of my cheeks.
I open my eyes every time,
to see you laying next to me.

we may have no mansion
or have fancy silverware.
but we have one bed,
we have some sheets
and a window pane.

in the morning,
the window shines perfectly
between you and I.
thoughts rushing through me,
mostly saying you're not my lie.

I hesitate to move, because--
this is the one time you're so still.
yet I do and I kiss your hand,
my arms run past your hair,
the cow lick at the crown of your head
is mine, layer upon layer

Open your eyes for another day
smile for me like you never do
love me without the words to say.
I wish there were more time,
for another morning to replay. . .
