I watch you sleeping,
Impossibly long eyelashes, black as rooks
flutter against yesterday's sun blushed cheeks,
small digits twitching,
right thumb firmly in mouth
suckling salt soaked skin.
You are the sea my boy,
the earth, the moon and stars.
I sip at my coffee,
eyed by Spiderman
as the Joker grins
and the Riddler envies Dr Seuss.
This moment is perfection,
a little bit of calm
before the tornado hits
with the blue of your eyes.
