Alesia Leach Poet Rhyme

Sleep My Love Sleep

Sleep, my love, sleep.
Rest your head on my breasts,
and place yourself into my keep.
Then, dream us on a mighty quest.

To a land where dragons exist--
where we run through mystical forests,
and chase unicorns through the mist.
Then float on pretty balloons, I promise.

Through the marsh we must flee,
toward evil knights guarding the keep--
where buried treasure waits for thee,
before we escape on murmuring seas.

Sleep, my love, sleep.
Close your eyes and spread your wings.
There is no reason for you to weep,
for in your dreams, you are king.

Paige Hind May 18, 2025 at 2:48 PM This reads like the softest lullaby. I can almost hear your voice. Alesia Leach May 23, 2025 at 4:21 PM That means so much, Paige--what a beautiful thing to say. I hoped this would feel like a lullaby wrapped in stardust and safe arms. I’m glad the softness came through and reached you.
