BEHIND SLEEPY EYES

BEHIND SLEEPY EYES

When my

Eyes

Are laden

With sleep,

It is you

I see.

Such a 

Welcoming site, 

I want

To

Embrace

You

To me...

Okay, you say

With your

Warm smile 

And in

Your arms

I cuddle

Falling asleep

Instantly!

We have

Adventures

Together,

We are home...

We laugh

And are

Happy

I want

Nothing 

More...

In your

Presence

I am

Whole!

When it

Is time

To awaken,

I am very

Reluctant...

I don't want

To lose

Sight

Of you...

You are

Never far

You tell

Me

You are

Always

In my

Heart, 

Behind sleepy

Eyes

Within

Reach.

I know it's

True,

I agree...

You are

My reason

For waking up

And wanting 

To sleep.

You are

Now

My

Beautiful dream

I long to

See!
