Falling asleep with you

Falling asleep with you

A Poem by Leo TheSaint

Falling asleep with you,

Feels like floating on one gently movig river stream

Holding my pillow like I'd have been holding you

Before I fall asleep I had to stare your face

Asleep like a little kitten on the belly of her mother

You closed your eyes and forehead relaxed

Followed by a smile and one deep breath

The smile was contagious and told myself

"Yes what a creation of beauty"

Firm I hold you feeling your warms and the softness of your skin

Smooth like soothing velvet feel electrifying my senses

I closed my eyes putting myself to sleep.

Next thing I could hear the alarm buzzing me to wake up

Turning around and reach my hand which I thought they still hold tightly

Few runs of my hand my eyes closed nothing felt like night before

That moment I knew you were not there.

I just smile and spoke silently

“Nigwedete Mumbi”

“Nguganile Mumbi”

“Je taime Mumbi”

“Ninakupenda Mumbi

“I Love you Mumbi”

And that moment I stopped worrying because I knew you'll be back.
