Her Red Hair

Her face is in repose
Encircled by her red hair,
She sleeps facing me
Exhausted by our day.
We are deeply in love,
Happy as only those who
Find their other half can feel.
We are long past infatuation
Or even intoxication and
Have begun our journey
Together to whatever may be.
We walk into the future
Holding hands smiling,
We have both been in
Love before and know
What to expect though
It is all new for us
And we cherish it
All the more.
