~~~~~~~~Gentle Slumber~~~~~~~~

The incandescent light of the Coruscant
Moon shines through the open window,
bathing your beautiful form in a milky glow, 
outlining each delicate curve.

The sound of your steady breathing
soothes me, calms me, as I lie next to 
you, my beloved Padawan.

You have drifted off to sleep, a gentle
slumber enveloping you within its loving
arms, welcoming you with the dream that
is revealing itself on your beautiful face, the
look of total bliss, of complete contentment.

And here I lie, gazing upon the beauty of the
one I love more than my own life; the one
I could simply gaze upon for an eternity.

A smile begins to slowly reveal itself across
your lips; a gentle purring sound emanating
from deep within you.

What are you dreaming of, my love?  

I could only hope that I would be the one
filling your dreams; your Master, the one
who loves you, who adores you.

I reach out and gently caress your cheek, 
causing you to shift slightly, and lean into
my caress.  Your smile deepens; your
purrs of delight turning into soft moans.

I trace my finger over those beautiful lips,
delicately outlining the sensuous lines of
the lips that I so love to capture, to devour,
to feel pressing urgently against mine in our
most heated moments of passion and desire.

My touch tickles you; you shift again, 
smiling, and turn your head to the side.

I run my fingers lightly over your padawan
braid, the symbol of your devotion to being
my Padawan; to learning the ways of the 
living Force, with me as your guide.  The 
yellow and red strings which bind the lock 
signify your steady progression towards 
Knighthood.

It is a progress which makes me quite 
proud.....yet quite sad....as I know the 
day will come when you will become a 
Jedi Knight, and you will leave my side 
to spread your wings and follow your 
own destiny.

I watch you, my beloved Padawan,
safely nestled in the comfort of your
sweet slumber.  

And each time I gaze at your beauty,
I fall in love with you all over again.



The End
