Sun Dappled Flesh

I got this image while I was watching my boyfriend sleep this morning.

Sun Dappled Flesh

As the sun
dapples

across his
tanned flesh
I wonder about

how lucky I am

to have such a

powerful, kind,

and thoughtful man

in my life.

He stirs, and

squirms in

his sleep of

early waking.
I can't help

but giggle a

bit at his

mumbling.

Does he really

know how much

he means to me?

I wonder to myself

as I watch him slowly

light up a cigarette

and inhale
(puff, puff)

before exhaling

as he turns

to look at me
and he smiles,

as he says;

“Like the view?”
