Bedtime story

my dear…

my lips want to tell your skin

a bedtime story

while weaving with simple rhyme

my desires to love you

with heart and mind

take you to once upon a time

tell you how I cherish

that I am yours.

As you drift off to dreamland

feel my hand

caress your face

know that I embrace

your heart as mine

until the very end of time.

Let me tell your skin

a bedtime story

watch as you fall to sleep

as I place upon your lips

mine

until at last a night shall come

we witness the sky

hanging stars out to dry

once I bathe you in sweet bliss

wring out your heart

try

to fill it up again.
