POETRY

Can’t Sleep

You’ve awoken something in me, long dormant and hidden, and now I can’t sleep for wanting you.

I lay awake all night just imagining your kisses, and I can’t sleep a wink while my pulse throbs inside.

Anticipation of your touch ignites fire in my veins, and I just can’t sleep while you’re on my mind.

I picture you above me as you hover in the half-light, It feels just like a dream, but I am wide awake.

You sing to me a melody that exists beyond mere words, I’ll be humming that tune now ’til the time the sun rises.

Imagined hands traverse the contours of my needful flesh, and I know that I won’t sleep because your imprint is so deep.

Your voice speaks to my very soul in a language I’d forgotten, Now how can I sleep while you resonate within?

You’ve awoken something in me, long dormant and hidden, and now I can’t sleep, ’cause I’m thinking of you.
