She was draped in a white linen,
hair settled and laying everywhere,
she slept,
a certain comfort,
we together,
held each other close,
I remember
seeing her in such a peaceful state,
the most beautiful woman I might ever know,
laying in my arms,
only a shroud of peace
would be her comfort in the warmth
of our unbridled passion,
just the quiet silence
of her breath against my skin,
I could have held on
forever.
