As She Sleeps; a pantoum.

Sea of cobalt, crimson sky.
She lies next to me, asleep.
Tumult grows as seagulls cry -
Fears arise and terrors creep.

She lies next to me, asleep,
Lost in worlds of white and blue.
Fears arise and terrors creep
As I scan the scarlet view.

Lost in worlds of white and blue,
Slowly she begins to stir;
As I scan the scarlet view,
Dread explodes my thoughts of her.

Slowly she begins to stir -
Thunder crashes, rain appears.
Dread explodes my thoughts of her,
Trepidation, terrors, fears.

Thunder crashes, rain appears,
Tumult grows and seagulls cry -
Trepidation, terrors, fears,
Sea of cobalt, crimson sky.
