I Fall in Sleep

Inspired by one of my favorite songs by Sia~I Go To Sleep...enjoy the music.

I lay in peace 

    you upon my head

no other thoughts

      amidst my mind

your strong shoulders

           hold me here

the scent of your manhood

           envelopes me

the heaviness of your loins

          keeps me safe

soaked in the invisible cloak

          of your heat

etched behind closed eyes 

     your silhouette

lulled by the sweet crackle

           of our fire

lingering in the grace 

      of sumptuous afterglow

         I fall under

                      the hypnotic

                                   sublimity

                                          of our splendor

Your words are so lovely and flowing! I awakened not too long ago, but want to go crawl back in and cuddle amongst the covers and dreams all my cares away after reading your poem and listening to the song. This is almost hypnotic and conveys a beautiful message!! Thank you for your beautiful lullaby of love!!

I love Sia! Her voice is amazing!

This is so beautiful and romantic! It's kinda delicate, and gentle unlike your other work. Most people can't make smooth transitions. You however didn't have trouble with that :)
"The scent of your manhood"
nice line!
