Goodnight, My Love

beneath the night.

Goodnight, My Love

The day surrenders, bids farewell,

As twilight paints the world in spell.

Long shadows stretch, a hush descends,

A gentle sigh, the evening sends.

The moon, a pearl in velvet skies,

Watches over as darkness lies.

A symphony of crickets' chirp,

Lulls the world in nature's dirp.

Nestled beside you, warm and near,

Your breath, a whisper, soft and clear.

The weight of day begins to fade,

Replaced by love, a serenade.

Your hand in mine, a perfect fit,

A silent language, warm and lit.

We speak of dreams, of hopes untold,

Secrets shared, in whispers bold.

The day's adventures, laughter's chime,

Woven with worries, thread by thread, we unwind.

A listening ear, a gentle touch,

Comfort found in loving so much.

The fire crackles, casting light,

A flickering dance, through the starlit night.

Or maybe just a lamp's soft glow,

Painting your face, a gentle show.

Your eyes grow heavy, slumber nears,

The weight of love dispels all fears.

My fingers trace a path so light,

Across your cheek, beneath the night.

I sing a song, a lullaby,

A melody of love, to make you sigh.

Words whispered low, of tender care,

A promise spoken, on the evening air.

The weight of worries, gently slips,

As sleep descends, with gentle dips.

Your breathing slows, a steady beat,

A symphony of peace, so bittersweet.

I watch you slumber, serenade you still,

The image of your peace, my heart does fill.

A gentle smile upon your face,

Reflects the love, this sacred space.

The world may sleep, in slumber deep,

But in my heart, your love I keep.

A silent guardian, by your side,

In dreams we'll wander, side by side.

The moonbeams dance upon your skin,

A gentle glow, where dreams begin.

I close my eyes, and hold you near,

Our love a solace, casting out all fear.

For in the hush, the world's at rest,

Our love remains, a constant guest.

And when the dawn begins to break,

Your eyes I'll see, for love's sweet sake.

So sleep, my love, the night is kind,

Let worries fade, and peace you'll find.

The stars will watch, the moon will gleam,

And in my dreams, of you I'll dream.

Goodnight, my love, with every beat,

My heart remembers, love so sweet.

And when the morning light appears,

I'll hold you close, to chase away all fears.
