HE SLEEPS
The room arrayed in evening splendor
Just a single candle's glow...
Tucked within the bed the lovers
Whisper with their voices low...
Words caress as love flows sweetly
Come dark night to give your kiss
He's cradled in her loving arms
How could there be a sweeter bliss?
Nighttime deepens bringing slumber
Listless limbs and heavy eyes
Words fade as she gently holds him
She hums him a lullaby
Bold dark lashes lay so gently
Soft against his handsome cheek
A single tear falls as she watches
She's content to hear him breathe
Settling in his arms she smiles
One last kiss for his quiet brow
With him held safely tight against her
Her eyes close in slumber now...
Stay Dark Love and last forever
Ironic how life feels complete
Just with one sweet stolen moment
As she lives to watch him sleep...

A LOVE SO DARK
