Sleep

Sleep caress me,

completely posses me

I need to rest my weary mind

From harsh reality,

you set me free

In a place where,

no troubles I will find

Your darkness holds me,

in night enfolds me

Immersing me in inky,

swirling streams

Deeper take me,

don’t forsake me

Release me into

your field of dreams

Your song it soothes me,

in harmony moves me

But for your touch,

a price I pay

For when you leave me,

you callously heave me

Back into

the burning light of day
