Just a short little ShepWeir fic for Valentine's Day. Based on a poem I read recently. Read and Reveiw!
Age: All
Disclaimers: The poem on which my fic is based was not written by me, I think it was written by a person called Matt Harvey. Please don't sue me for using it! And, as usual, none of the Atlantis characters are mine, I am only playing in the sandbox of TPTB.
LullabySleep
on then, love, I will not wake you, though
It's
lonely keeping vigil by your side.
A part
of me would like to have you know
That I
am here. Awake. Alert. But pride
Forbids
my acting from this loneliness,
Both
pride and a respect for where you are:
A world
whose landscape I can only guess –
As far
away as any star
Whose
pinpoint pricks the conscience of the night.
My
crumpled scruples cavil at the thought
Of
waking you. It wouldn't be quite right.
So here
with you, alone, so oddly caught
Between
two distances, I sit and sigh.
And
hum, a bit too loud, a lullaby. C. Matt Harvey(?)
He loved to watch her sleep. See how the barriers with which she carefully hid her emotions by day were displaced by the simplicites of dream-filled hours. How the morning sunlight, gently streaming through the opening in the curtains, gave her face a serene appearence, and played off the countours of her unruly, sleep-tossed hair. He watched, as a lone piece of hair, which had fallen across her face, gently rose and fell with each breath, and how her arms were instinctivly crossed over the small bump which lightly strained her white pyjama top. He loved how, when he placed a soft kiss upon her mouth, he was sure he could see a smile playing across her lips. He loved the feeling of waking up with her in his arms, a time when she was his, and belonged to no-one else. He loved her.
