Why Sleep?

by Anne Engelen

Seductively wrapped
by sweet nothings whispered
forming a cocoon

A magical place
where ecstasy's raised
and fantasies bloom

Hearing,
not the words
but the breathing

Feeling,
the fantasy come to life

My touch,
directly leading me
to some kind of afterlife

Satisfied,
numb and dazed
you leave me
incredibly amazed

You,
the key to this new eternity
sleep's no longer a part of me

Life is too short for sleep when you have a playful partner to share bedspace through the wee hours the night - You have caught this image in an economy of words - Very nice, Anne - RCat
