Murmurs In the Darkness of Sweet Nothings

As he lay  there sleeping in cool satin sheets embracing
I watch weeping,  take note and listen  , could have been Shakespeare
As he rolled to face me,  moaned and muttered  endearing words
every  woman in love  would have loved and cherished  to hear

Holding  my lips tightly,  glean ,withholding for safekeeping
Murmurs in the darkness sweet nothings he thought was her ears
A child’s smile disappeared to sounds of mild snores and breathing
fire brewed a flush of red kept a calm look and dried my  tears
