As She Sleeps
Why do you tremble like a falling snowflake
When my lips caress your waving chest?
My heart, your gentle lips can also take,
But now I will distress your calm rest;
keep your eyes closed as they are now,
some words must be written unseen,
my kisses are waving a solemn vow,
our dream will grow steady and pristine.
Oh, do you wake and do you smile?
Close, close your eyes yet again:
You must sleep truly for a little while:
The day is cold and you hear the rain:
Let’s hide underneath the bedspread,
where you find this poem to read…
