Night Protector

 
Soft mattress
light duvet
my man
perfect in combination
exaltation even.

spooning into his sleeping frame
the slow rise and fall of his chest on my back
the sleeping beast further down
his arm
slunk over
my hands not letting go
to my chest
my face
breathing him in

So my demon friends
with your nightime musings
infrequent pointless raids
reaping little reward

My night protector you see
standing firm by my side
my hand in his.

So come demons!
meet my new friend on the block.
