Cocooning,not spooning

Impenetrable dark shell, set to repel?

My soft white down so easily speared

[As my soft heart on my sleeve worn.

 Pierced not by an arrow, but pricked by

 a feather ]

 

Heart a flutter,

Anxious dream, chasing, missing

you.

Needing to 'penetrate your cocoon'

to make my beating heart calm.

 

My hand finds your warm

heart (or back),

 

I pat, you respond

I mutter "You 'wake?" (Bad dream )

You mumble "S'okay, just a bad dream;

go to sleep...

It's 5.30 you splutter!"

Reassured my heart stills

A tear leaks out,

just one teardrop..

 

Faith, Hope and, above all

       Love .
