Little Boy Sleep

My man sleeping. A simple pleasure I so treasure.

A little boy sleeps
Here in my bed
Uttering incoherent words
Of dreams in his head

Looking so very cute
As he drifts in slumber
Breathing in and out
From the visions that plunder

I reach out to touch him
Stroking his head and face
Wanting to give him solace
And take him to a better place

Longing to soothe his soul
And comfort him gently
Holding my darling close
Cradling him so tenderly

Your poem was so beautiful. Watching a child sleep can be a peaceful thing especially if he or she were causing a lot of trouble or were playing for a long time.
