Sleep
The restless flight your heart takes night
To crescent of a hidden bend of light

Surrendering my cares the rhythm draws me there
Attuned in breaths drawn deep and low we share

Repeal of what ideal spread across your chest
My hands to wander softly all the very best

These sheets of linen pleat, away and downed
For love set free its dimpling surround

And all that aches the crevices of old
Washed gently from your secret life aloud unfold

Again and over easy clothed in breezy songs
Exotic in the waterfalls as love and all it longs

Sleep
The peaceful rest that will request its time
My fingers play the melody our bodies sway in mime
