To Awake One Day

by Everlasting   Jan 20, 2016


To fall asleep in the bed of your arms,
with your chest pillowing my dreams,
and your heart beating a lullaby to me
I wish
I wish

But for your kisses to blanket my body,
my darling dear...
And for your eyes to awake me while watching me
sleep...
I yearn
I yearn

One day.

    A wonderful simile, using a bed as a person. A lover; there comfort like the softness feathers of that pillow. Now that is a place that anyone would want to be.

    But for your lips to blanket my body with a kiss,
    or many, my darling dear...
    And for your eyes to awake me while watching me
    sleep...
    I yearn
    I yearn

    Yes, this is super. A blanket of kisses. Kisses to adorn every inch. Who would not yearn for this attention, this devotion, this love?

    One day.

    This line is like a bomb landing. it makes this reader wonder if this lover is imaginary or just a just a hope for a future love some day...

    An excellent write.

    Take care,

    What a beautiful piece. To fall asleep with your head on the chest of the one you love.is the best thing. Listening to their heart beating is like a lullaby. Something I use to cherish.
