"Sleepless"

 Sleepless

 I feel your mind

 It does not sleep

 I hear your thoughts

 Crawl up inside me

 I feel your hand

 Beneath the sheets

 You toss and turn

 But don’t move at all

 Your hand grasps

 For mine

 You need to feel

 Some life

 You feel so cold

 So alone

 Although you lie

 By my side

 So distant

 You become

 So far your thoughts

 Can chase you

 How lost in them

 You find yourself

 I can take you in

 Hold you

 Close

 To my skin

 Feel the warmth

 That I give

 Feel the warmth

 From within

 My thoughts

 Weave through yours

 Your eyes yield access

 To bring you back

 With each breath

 That we take

"Breathe"

BREATHE


I’m gonna breathe a sigh
Run my fingers across your lips
Breathe a sigh
Your hands upon my hips
Breathe a sigh
Your eyes still glisten
From the tears you cried
Breathe a sigh
In peace for a short time

I’m gonna breathe a sigh
Hold you close beneath the sheets
Breathe a sigh
I taste you, so sweet
Breathe a sigh
Feel the heat of your skin
As our bodies lie together
Breathe a sigh
In peace for a short time

I’m gonna breathe a sigh
Follow the lines my lips trace
Breathe a sigh
My hair falls upon your face
Breathe a sigh
Listen to the whispers
Of peace in your eyes
Breathe a sigh
In peace for a short time
