conquer

at night
when the darkest hour
comes

and the trains
call out
in the stillness
of the night

i linger
over you
one last time

soothing you
into
a hard fought
sleep

do you know
when you relax
as i touch
your cheek

that i feel
like i've conquered
the world
in one quiet
movement?

a million bombs
could go off
all around us

and all i
would do
is cover your body
with mine

look upon
your face

and warm you
for all eternity

 just to see you wake again

(dream)
