I watch you, as you sleep,
the glow, a rosy hue
of Roman cheeks,
a tiny trickle, as if glued
...
I place you,
gently
on your pillow,
first on your back,
...
I lie behind you in our night,
close, as your bum fits neatly
and so very sweetly, to me,
my hands had been requested
...
It came to me
from
the silent shadows,
this word
...
I hope your dreams will help you rest
your body needs it now.
Although you are the cat's meow
even the best need rest.
...
Your lights are out now, I can feel it.
Your world follows a different drummer.
But while you sleep, let me reveal it:
What I'm too shy to say this summer.
...
