My lady’s sleeping peacefully

 I slip beside her into bed.

She turns to me instinctively

 without a word though much is said.

She does not wake although she stirs

settles herself more comfortably.

I hold her close as she prefers.

A feeling of security.

She slips into a deeper sleep

 content because I’m by her side.

I see no need for counting sheep

 as slowly into sleep I slide.

Togetherness is all we need

 mutual love our only creed

I love sonnets! Yours was well writed and warmed my heart. I feel this way about my guy and I am sure he feels the same way. I love the simple way you derived the pleasure of just spooning the night away. This was sweet and super romantic. Very good work my friend.-Catrina
