Writing In Bed

I snuggle deep into my bed,
as words float round and round my head.
Much needed sleep away has fled
and so its this I write instead.

My husband and my kitty too
are sound asleep. yet guess who
is wide awake and oh so blue
that I can't welcome sleep anew.

The faucet drips and clock does tick,
cramped diaphram makes me hic,
my thirsty tongue feels very thick,
and restless legs just want to kick.

Blanket off and blanket on,
all hope of sleep completely gone.

Silent Sleep

You nestle deep into my chest,
my heart finds some peace and rest,
in our private little nest,
as you sleep on in silence.

I feel your heart beating strong,
as you stretch your legs out long,
my love for you cannot be wrong,
as you sleep on in silence.

I feel your breath on my face,
dampening a tiny place,
a hint of tuna I can trace,
as you sleep on in silence.

Then I disturb your messy fur,
and you awake with yawn and purr,
you're still as sweet as you were,
when you slept on in silence.
