Love Poems - Lullaby
Sleep, with its warm embrace
Is oh so sweeter beside you
When the bed lays open, inviting
You lay nestled in a sea of blankets
Silky smoothe skin, downy hairs
To run my fingerstips over
And pull you close
Two naked bodies locked in embrace
To let sleep take us,
No greater intimacy
Then to see you slumber naked
Here next to me
Unconcious, a mind in dream
So vulnerable
Your face calm, relaxed
Like a child to me you seem
You used to snore
Melodic thunderous notes
They were but a lullaby
As I gently slumbered, perchance to dream
But no greater joy in sleep
Is to be had, then sweet words
Softly spoken
"I love you", in gentle slumber
Lay we here to dream no more
No lullaby to sleep meets me
Twas just a promise, broken
To sleep is bitter, like the salt of the sea.
Is oh so sweeter beside you
When the bed lays open, inviting
You lay nestled in a sea of blankets
Silky smoothe skin, downy hairs
To run my fingerstips over
And pull you close
Two naked bodies locked in embrace
To let sleep take us,
No greater intimacy
Then to see you slumber naked
Here next to me
Unconcious, a mind in dream
So vulnerable
Your face calm, relaxed
Like a child to me you seem
You used to snore
Melodic thunderous notes
They were but a lullaby
As I gently slumbered, perchance to dream
But no greater joy in sleep
Is to be had, then sweet words
Softly spoken
"I love you", in gentle slumber
Lay we here to dream no more
No lullaby to sleep meets me
Twas just a promise, broken
To sleep is bitter, like the salt of the sea.
