Sleeping with Dogs

I see you're eyes moving

Deep inside the depths of your lids 

Fluttering to some image you see

Tell me boy, what do you see?

Water waves beneath us

I'm not capable to sleep this late

My touch makes you pull away

So I find comfort in sleeping dogs

I can still hear you moving about

The subtle snores you keep

I mutter peace to my new companion

As he mutters fear of sleep

The chill of the room sets in

No matter the layers I wear

I envy your heated water

But don't dare to wake you now

Alas! he awakens

Smiling like the lit rain

He welcomes me back to the water

I felt more welcome by the dog

What did you see boy?

Tell me, what did you dream?
