The greatest warmth

A blanket for all winters

Never tiring

How she sleeps

So soundly

Draped across me

Held so tight

I never dare

Squirm in the night

Although my sleep

Inevitably suffers

I fear the cold

If she would leave

For another

I lay awake

Often admiring her beauty

Unmistakable smell of her hair

Known only to me

The way her head nestles

So close against my chest

Ceiling fan whirring

The only other sound

Her soft little breaths

So beautiful she sleeps

Ever so soundly
