Wayward Nights

Wayward nights drift off to dream
gone, attention hid past the sleep 
oceans lift, internal waves unsettling
afloat, another restless midnight keeps

Place your skin against my arrival
held taught, where doubt makes way
let soft caresses command attention
until brought back unto a lighter day

Painted lines inside a crimson room
knowing not what the unknown shows
squeezing tight as the flower blooms
leaving footprints where tender flows

The euphoria of love can't be replicated
Lay down thine heart and be sedated

A sensuous pen can't put my finger on it but it's there :)
