Protecting Her Dreams

"The nearness of another offers peace to her sleep."

Lying at her side,
Listening to her even breath,
Burying my face in her hair.
Our scent in the air
And smiles on our faces.

Covered in a warm blanket
Of peaceful passions.
Desiring the closeness
And the tender touch
We two now share.

Drifting in and out of sleep,
Dreaming of the woman
Here in my arms,
Then waking to find
She is not just a dream.

Holding her and protecting
Her dreams from pain.
Shielding my lovers thoughts
With the warmth
Of my embrace and
A gentle kiss from time to time.

Returning to my sleep knowing
There will be more love to share
When we both wake.
