The Angel In My Bed


Drawing by Francesca Romana Brogani

In the small hours of the night
I awake as you shift
And snuggle tightly against my back
With the sweetest little moan.

I turn to embrace you
As you lie contentedly in my arms
With a hint of a smile
Playing at the corners of your mouth.

I stay unmoving
Just gazing upon your face
Wondering what it is that I do not see
When the windows to your soul have closed.

I breathe deep and hold you tighter
Safe within this embrace
As I close my eyes and drift off
To another bed with you lying safely in my arms.
