When My Sleep Thief Calls
by Roxz
I’d gladly give up the dark of sleep
for moments in your cradling hold,
as we mold our bodies into a perfect fit.
A touch, a whisper, a beckoning kiss
descends me into passion’s abyss.
As I float in the blackness beneath your weight,
my skin is my sight, navigating me through the night.
Like the North Star, it shows me the way
to your desire, your fire that ignites me inside.
I glide on the edge of each breath you take.
With every muscle fully aroused
I bow at Heaven’s gate, and wait for you.
Meeting again where the horizon stops
we dance between cool raindrops
proclaiming our love until early light of dawn.
Then on angels’ wings we drift back to sleep.
I’ve given you my soul to keep–
the All, the Whole, the Complete of me,
and not just this night, but each night ever more.
When my sleep thief calls,
knocking on the walls of my slumber cocoon,
I’d gladly wake and follow you to the moon.
