I Watch You Sleep Poem by Phil Soar

I watch you as you sleep and see you dream
the flicker of your eyelids telling all
that story written in the night is yours alone
although the chapters might be rather small

The plot lines make your story twist and turn
and the way your eyelids flutter I can't miss
an opportunity to watch and learn
lean into you and steal an evening kiss

I watch you sleep until my eyes are tired
and drift into a welcome rest and then
I too can fall asleep and dream myself
of how my story starts and yours does end
