Sleep

Sleep, elusive as a firefly on a warm summer night
Will not stop in its flight for me
Oh, to dream again of your arms around me, your lips brushing my ear
Whispering words of hot desire
Until there was you, I existed only in the realm of shadows
Awaiting your redeeming call
Lost in the fabric of time like legs entangled in silken sheets
I knew not who I was
Mesmerized by your eyes that revealed the truth of me
I awakened into life
Abdicating my throne, I tossed my crown at your feet
Vanity’s cruel symbol
Tearing the armor from my now fearless heart
I knelt naked before you
Eternally bound by the silent vows of blood

I wait
