i will catch up with sleep
when i am dead
for tonight my weary eyes just live
to behold your beauty
as you bathe in a dream
beside me.
how could i not tremble with the thought
that i breath the air you breath,
and listen to the same songs
that wander into your restful mind?
i dream your dream, love,
even if i am awake
and my heart is beating furious
at your sight.
such magnificent soul!
such wonderful creation!
you could see beyond
this plain, ordinary armor
and find the voice
trapped in my heart...
release me, dear
release my whole being
that has longed
so much to find you.
what are the chances of a time like this?
how could i sleep and let this moment not take me,
reduce me to tears
that i ache so bad to hide from you?
i will hurt in the morning
but it will heal.
i will not see this vision again
but it will remain in everything i see.
we will be miles apart, but closer.
so tonight,
i would rather live,
breath your air
smell you, kiss you, merge with your senses
and give you all this love
i never know exists in me.
pure, ******, boundless, blind and fierce.
you sleep away, my darling
my beautiful beloved.
i will catch up with sleep
when i am dead.
