Silent Vows in Slumber

In the quietude of our shared breath,

A whisper echoes, gentle yet profound,

"Use your mouth only for eating and drinking,"

Until consciousness, like dawn, is found.

For in this slumber, love remains unstirred,

Silent words, withheld, like unspoken vows,

But in the realm where dreams and hearts converge,

My love for you in every beat avows.

While you sleep, the world in stillness lies,

A tranquil pause in the symphony of us,

Your quietude, a canvas of serene skies,

Awaiting the moment we both awaken and trust.

So, I'll wait with words unspoken, biding time,

Until your eyes, like morning sun, alight,

And then, with fervor, our voices will entwine,

In a chorus of love, pure and bright.

Use your mouth only for life's simplest needs,

As you journey through this temporary night,

For when you awaken, my heart proceeds,

To speak love's truth, in dawn's tender light.
