So I May Keep My Desires

Without a wrinkle
Sleep engulfs me completely
I need dreams to come
So I may keep my desires
At the footsteps of the bed

Russel, this is really creative. I like it a lot. I am having to take sleeping pills now, so I really desire for sleep to engulf ME (and without leaving me with a wrinkle on the left side of my mouth. Grrrrr)
