I watch you, like an octopus in bed
Lumpy pillows by your head
Twisting yourself into knots and throws
Snoring away all your woes
Dreaming about all the things you love
A sheet wrapped round your hand like a glove
Chewing away as you sleep
I wonder what you dreamed to eat
What made that smile on your lips
As the sheet wraps around your hips
Two fighting octopods in the bed
I wonder what goes on inside your head?
Fast asleep yet fighting there
Amongst all the sheets and teddy bears
What a battle and such peace
The wonder of you will never cease
I shut the door and leave you to the land of dreams
As the landing is lit by moonbeams
