Rise and fall
the breath of sleep.
Breathe me in
and I will fill your lungs.
To be the life
that floods your body.
A pulse
flickering.
Blood racing
through your veins.
Let me fill your heart
I will flow
through every inch
of your body.
Bringing life
to your fingertips
and back again;
eternal journey.
The dreams that flutter
your eyelids.
Let me in your mind
and I will fill your nights
with love.
To be each sleeping thought
each smile
a feather
stroking your soul.
Your skin,
warm against mine.
Let me fold you into me
enclosing
each breath,
each pulsing vein.
To be your touch
and soft caress.
To feel you
within.
To be you
and me
as one.
A body of love
sleeping
and waking.
To be.
