Sleep
Oh sweetest temptress that is sleep
How I long for your embrace
As it’s been the longest of days
Would I ever love to see your face
To drift off into a land of dreams
Where there will come a return
Yet restful slumber is what awaits
Can you not tell how much I yearn?
I wish to nuzzle ever longer
Into this sweet sanctuary called a bed
But only too soon am I brought to reality
With this alarm clock rattling by my head
Cursed fiend tonight you have breathed your last
As I relax back to sweet slumber I’m not the future and the past
How I long for your embrace
As it’s been the longest of days
Would I ever love to see your face
To drift off into a land of dreams
Where there will come a return
Yet restful slumber is what awaits
Can you not tell how much I yearn?
I wish to nuzzle ever longer
Into this sweet sanctuary called a bed
But only too soon am I brought to reality
With this alarm clock rattling by my head
Cursed fiend tonight you have breathed your last
As I relax back to sweet slumber I’m not the future and the past

Dear M,
Elusive sleep. How well you have written this activity and its lack of cooperation at times. “To drift off into a land of dreams
Where there will come a return ” a very pretty turn of phrase. This piece has a very classic style to me and I very much enjoyed it. H🌷
