Necessarily Interrupted Sleep

While I tried having a begging nap, On my door heard a begging rap… A female caller tilting her velvety cap, An errand running for my indulgent pap, On her bluish blouse, a heat-transferred world map, While her spread right fingers she played on her lap. From me, got and drank a glassful wine, Which first dulled her eyes before they did shine… I guessed between her mission and mine, An eternal gap, But still said “Fine!” In a sleepy voice that didn’t any energy sap… “She is to continually join me in my sleep, And begin a relationship passionately deep”.
