Sweet Dreams

Dim those lights O sweet moon Someone I adore is going to join me I have left that window slightly open For her to slip into my sweet dreams That smile you see on my face Is for her, as I see her approaching I take her name and whisper That I have left her some space In my dream for her dreams to fit in As I hear my own heart beating With a matching beat she steps right in As she seeks out my hand I feel the sweetness of her breath Her head on my shoulder Her soft hair flowing on my pillow Her two eyes like stars shone I see my reflection in those eyes As she slowly drops those eyelids And cradles me in her arms all night! 7.6.22
