While I Was Sleeping

Asleep in reverie, enrapt in lucid dreams
Myriads of stars chase silver moonbeams
You render kisses on the lids of my eyes
I am being loved by you. In sleep, I sigh.

Drifting with you all through the night
Your arms around me,  we've taken flight
In amorous slumber, your breath at my ear,
Voice barely a whisper, "I love you," I hear.

Comes the morrow, I awaken to the day
Lost is my dream, where I longed to stay
Tonight when the sky turns midnight blue
I'll be drifting in dreams, lost in loving you.

It reminds me of moments when you are gently awakened by soft kisses and gentle touches and enjoy a sensual experience when you're half asleep, half dream, half reality.
