He's Talking In His Sleep
He's Talking In His Sleep
Shhh...Night...he's talking in his sleep.
Soft...Now...the corner of his lips,
Set...New...one 'hidden kiss' does peep,
So...Near...my heart feels its ellipse.
Sounds...Nip...at breathless crags of air...
Shhh...Night...he's talking in his sleep.
Sheer...Nerve...to listen, (if I dare).
Stay...News...my tortured heart's replete.
STAND...NEXT...TO SOLDIERS IN THE KEEP!
SEND...NAILS...A COFFIN MUST BE MADE!
Shhh...Night...he's talking in his sleep.
Save...Nobb...from terrors; send him aid.
Sweat...Nocks...his brow, it's soaking wet.
Safe...Nabbed...the evils that run deep.
Soon...Nod's...long journey will abet...
Shhh...Night...he's talking in his sleep.
