bedtime

head lazily wilts

heavy against your waiting cushion

eyes flutter…and sigh.

drenced with fatigue

they wake to defer.

petals of intoxicating slumber

stroke my cheek, kiss me good night, drift over the crevices
and rest in between places unknown.
I inhale your elixir that convincingly whispers
"lie with me in this sleep".

until Sunday...

keep your peepers open!®
