The boy stares at her sleeping form
Her chest barely moving with breath
Those who'd guard her are sleeping
Joining her in dream, so cannot warn
Meaning to be alert but made of flesh
All are flawed, now they're dreaming
If a boy should steal the princess away
They'll never dream again, executed
For crimes of treason, a queen betrayed
But standing boy is content to gaze
And with her in dreamlands play
