He Sleeps

He sleeps.
Sound,
Around,
Me.
Holding and molding.
Me
Into WE.

Shapes to shape,
Breaths to breath,
Singing sweet whispers
of dreams never dreamt.

He sleeps.
Beside.
Inside,
Me.
Soothing and moving.
Me
Breaking free.

Pain into pleasure,
Eyes without measure.
Revealing and stealing songs
sing the cure.

He sleeps.
New.
Few,
weeks loving me.
Protecting,
projecting 
promises he keeps.
To me.

Picked up your pieces,
filled in the creases,
Repairing a damage I'm
now glad was done.

He sleeps.
Boldly,
not coldly.
Wrapped up in me.
He sleeps.
