Ever watch your spouse or lover sleep, wishing that they’d wake up just at that moment for a little….

Upon a bed of fluffy white

I reached, I felt, I kissed goodnight

Her body lay there ever still

Yet, I restrained with all my will

She slept, she dreamed, her mind it danced

Perhaps it filled with true romance

But, for now, I’ll hold her tight

With hopes she awakens, in the night

For then the dreams, they will come true

As we together, in love, renew

 

The softness of her blanketed skin

The warmth, the feel, invites me in

Lifting the blanket, it then revealed

Her body bare, my love then sealed

Still, she lay so motionless

I want this woman, I confess

But, there she sleeps, so I take hold

She makes me warm, destroys the cold

If only she could now awaken

My heart for her, no love forsaken
