To Sleep

byCuriouswife©

What I want from him
is strands brushed away
from my tangled forehead
and the sweet whisper “sleep.”

I want to rest assured
armor has been taken up
and I will have no worries;
tomorrow will come gently.

Fluid muscles stretch
as I blink in the bright.
Warm sheets caress
night kissed skin.

I’ve awoke to the knowledge
that this is what I need;
a knight in shining armor
who whispers to me “sleep.”
