O sweet, sweet baby,
now you must go to sleep,
the fairies would arrive
to caress your cheeks,
I bestow upon you,
the world of dreams,
far away from life,
where there is a river,
of your beloved cream,
and the candied leaves, of
the chocolate trees,
the soil of love,
embracing you,
keeping you safe for me,
.
O sweet, sweet baby,
now you must wander around,
in the trails, of the forest,
chat with the bunnies,
and play with the monkeys,
they will tickle you, and
you shall laugh,
and appease my heart,
with your toothless grin,
you can walk up the hill,
and reach the cave, where
resides the treasure-
a glittering mirror, where you can see,
what is most precious to me,
.
O my darling baby, close your eyes,
with my gentle kiss, hush, and go to sleep
.
Don’t be surprised. Yes, I am quite a dark person but I can write some playful and light verses as well. Moreover, I love kids.
Written for dVerse Poetics; it is a sort of lullaby.
