Sleep my beloved, sleep,
Safely here in my arms.1
Where the memories cannot hurt,
Where the darkness cannot touch.2
Here, nightmares cannot reach,
Here, you can smile.3
You are in my care,
You have no reason to fear.4
I am your friend and lover,
I am your protector and knight.5
Who promised to be here for you,
Who promised I'd never leave.6
This I do for my divine beauty,
This I do for my love.7
Your sweet smile warms my heart,
Your love is all I seek and desire.8
And I will protect you,
And so it shall be.9
So place your trust in me,
Sleep my beloved, sleep.

The biggest part (to me) of reading a story/poem is being able to capture an image of it, or make some sort of connection with it. This was sweet and excellent. Another big thing for me is that I don't like poetry,and writing like this is what can make me begin to like poetry. I more into writing stories or short passages that are like stories, and this poem really caught my attention; I aprreciate that LOL.
