Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Rhyme Royal

Restless Sleep

RESTLESS SLEEP
nguish
                            On downy pillow his head lies 
                            He’ll  toss a bit and then relax
                            And when he wakes he’ll fight surprise--
                            nightmare dreams don't alter facts

                            She’s awake --her passion heats
                            On downy pillow his head lies
                            She reaches out and meets defeat--
                            These sleepless nights her sacrifice 

                            In his dread dreams tormented cries
                            Fallen friends haunt every turn  
                            On downy pillow his head lies--
                            Some secrets she will never learn

                            He is her darling, life’s glor'us glow --
                            For work he dons a smile's disguise
                            Tonight she'll kiss him head to toe--
                            On downy pillow his head lies
