A sleepy kind of love

[CursedHeart]

Written for my then boyfriend now fiance Nick. Please not the last line is not related in any way to lust, if you know what I mean.

A Sleepy Kind Of Love

I lie, half submerged in the sand
My fingertips buried so the dirty pebbles
Inch under my soft pink nails

Sleep is a rose
It ripples out and devours me

Asleep in this dusty day dream
As the breezy lapse of waves
Swifts over my hot and seasoned skin

A soft halo tenders me from the sweet half light
The careless tapering moon quivers

Ah, Moon, I simper, hair strewn wildly filtering through the rocks
Moon is me and I am the moon and will I be gone when the sun comes back?

Enchanted morning breaking on the cliff
Of a desperate heart that clings to the roots of its saviour
Even if it rips it from its rest

So I rest
So I rest
Dear Moon, and dear light that serves me this warmth of glow
On happy hour at dawn

Darling to those who wash over me
Those who taste these words and feel them sour

Bitterly I write to you
Thrown in sand and line of right and sea
Left and sand
A century passes but I am lain here
Surrendered to the mesmerizing skies above me

Hopeless
Helpless
And defiantly seduced
