Little Boy of Mine

Little boy, your cry so softly on my cold shoulder
the night terrors are chasing you down
wide open blue eyes stare into mine full of fright
never panic, I will hold you safe and tight
...
the dark horror slowly reaches out with long tentacles
dank fog swathes you in a glaze of malevolence
do not fret, I am here always, I whisper in your soft ear
under my protective gaze the wicked will cease to desire
your every childish thought, my warmth will forever
be your haven, when the mares of night come
to take you away, run into my arms
for I will keep you from their depraved intent
...
little boy, your pure, blue eyes gaze into mine, reflecting
you are my own blood, never fear I will forever be here
naught will harm as I stand with my hands in fists
in front of your fragile form, I will vanquish the night drifters
holding you close until the sun's golden rays peak
…
little boy, you are sleeping so softly on my cold shoulder
breathing silently, your eyelids flutter faintly
little boy, you are mine forever, to embrace
