To Sleep, Perchance To Dream

To sleep, perchance to dream
And float on clouds of cream
Then dip in passion’s stream
And bask in sunlit beam

To lie in flowers fair
Butterflies in my hair
With love enough to spare
With joy I’ll lead you there

Your fairy dressed in light
Your kisses to incite
Drench you in pure delight
Bring pleasure to your sight

Dip you in honey sweet
Your love is mine to eat
Ecstacy is my treat
Your craving I will meet

Your wish is my command
I'lllet you guide my hand
Bow down to your demand
Love's words I understand

Close your eyes, hear the sound
Rhapsody’s all around
Together we are bound
This love dance does astound
 
To wake, perchance to see
You lying next to me
Forever you will be
My waking fantasy

For Nathan's Fairy Contest

Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/25/2013 6:56:00 AM You are the princess of romance. A very sensual piece. Well done. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 4/25/2013 7:01:00 AM This coming from the author of Liquid Dream is quite a compliment! ;) Eileen Manassian Date: 4/25/2013 7:00:00 AM :) Thank you, Richard. That is a title to treasure for sure!

Richard D Seal Date: 4/25/2013 6:33:00 AM I bet Shakespeare wishes he'd thought of this, Auntie you've used that opening line to create a perfect fantasy. You're my favourite fairy lol. Take care, Richard Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 4/25/2013 6:38:00 AM :) Why thank you, Richard. Took a course on Shakespeare and His Contemporaries. Wasn't drudgery, but pure bliss! I LOVED IT! I LOVE HAMLET. Saw a couple of different versions of it. This soliloquy was fascinating. Of course, I must give it a different twist, mustn't I! :) Who are the other fairies? Good to know the competition!

Timothy Hicks Date: 4/25/2013 12:57:00 AM I love how the waking world ended up being even more amazing than this colorful "dream world". It's amazing when one finds this person that makes their wildest dreams pale in comparison. Looks like you found yours ;) Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 4/25/2013 1:27:00 AM Glad you liked the poem! :)
