Sleep
SLEEP
Sleep overwhelms me
Lover-like with soft hands
Unseen face in the darkness of bedroom
Brushing my eyes with
Heavy drugged perfume
She makes leaden my limbs
I cannot - do not want to --
Resist her embrace
Wave upon wave of silent kisses
Hold me down on the pillow
Till I surrender to her
Perfume of dreams intoxicating
And my head swims
In an enfolding surge of
Tiredness and lack of will
