Make Me Sleep

My craving soul keeps me awake My inner turmoil jolts me when I doze Night after night this toll I take Droopiness rules, tranquility goes The four-walls of my room squeeze me The roof seems aiming to crush my body In darkness dreadful images I see Each wink a disaster, each breath a calamity Spread your silky hairs on my chest Let its soothing caress make me sleep Let my breath your perfume digest Take me to the world of slumber deep Let the bough of your arms be resigned Let the glow of your face in darkness shine Let your body curves be entwined Let your heartbeat mingle with mine For my wounds you are the balm desired You alone can free my soul from anguish Your touch is what desolate heart aspired Without you I’m like an out of water fish. You alone can bring the serenity desired Your captivating cheek on my bosom keep You are the one my longing heart aspired Let your enchanting perfume put me to sleep Sintra Portugal. 11-12-2 Winner in Send Me To Sleep Contest sponsored by Poet- Destroyer -Judged on 10/26/2012
