While my Angel Sleeps

The sorrows fade as sorrows surely must
When in my arms at last you gently sleep.
While in their stead contentment born of trust
At once provides a calm serene and deep.
No sleep could grant the peaceful sleep that's found
In holding you throughout a silent night,
A silence broken only by the sound
Of soft and rhythmic breaths of pure delight.
Then sleep my sweet and dream unfettered dreams,
For nowhere is your safety more secure
And never is love truer than it seems
Just now, when bound by mutual allure.

Through fleeting moments passed without a trace
My gaze will never leave my angel's face.

This is beautiful! A very well done sonnet.

Hold on, it gets better than you know....

I adore the tenderness in this *gifted* piece~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
