Wake Up, Darling

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
