Lover's Lullaby

daydreams of love....

Waltz me around

in a ballroom of air

and curl up your fingers

in locks of my hair

 

Drink of me deep

like a muscadine wine

A succulent sweetness

like grapes on the vine

 

Rock me as gently

as jasmine filled winds

on hammocks of Hemlocks

with music of wrens

 

Captivate me

with your cool, cashmere kisses

and lean over me

like a well full of wishes

 

Explore me like

caverns in rocky-edged shores

Revealing your heartbeat;

I'm longing for more

 

Lull me to sleep

with a sunsetting song

and awaken my body

to right and to wrong

 

Wash over me now

like the tides on the sand,

Caress me as smoothly

as silk in your hands

 

Possess me; protect me

I knight you, forever

to shield me within you

like your lady treasure

Bloody brilliant!

Second stanza, love the imagery set with the wine.
Cashmere kisses - Love it.
Stanza 6 - also amazing - classic concept perfectly stated in a new way
Stanza 8 (final), love the choice of words.

Excellent word selection. Very impressed with the imagery and metaphors. Wonderful rhyme, very natural. Amazing rhythm and flow.

Again, I say, bloody brilliant!

this has such a sing-song quality to it, just like the name implies, a perfect lullaby.
