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 that song..and I love this poem. It reminds me of a warm summer day...when I'm outside relaxing...the heat...the wind cooling my skin...it makes me want to sleep..much like you've expressed it through the use of touch and body heat. Gorgeous.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Muse, now you've got me wanting summer heat all the more!

[Muse]

me too..

i guess i am a bit dated ....this song was first recorded by Chrissy Hynde and The Pretenders and i have to say this version by Sia is rather lacklustre in comparison. the poem is , of course, drop dead gorgeous. very well written and ethereal in quality. i love it.

[Frieda P]

Did you just step on Sia?? Yes, she did it well, but lackluster your skinny a*s!

Thanks for the great review I meant to say ;-P

[quinfinn]

Pretenders are so much better!!!!!

[Frieda P]

SNAP OUT OF IT! ;-P

Are you going to bring the Kinks into this next? It's my poem, Sia stands firm.

[PP]

I can smell it, feel it and think it through your words :)

[Frieda P]

Whoa, you're pretty talented! Thanks Tink. :-)

[PP]

[Sympatico]

scent of your manhood oh nice! Who was he?

[Frieda P]

You know that song by Gotye...just somebody that I used to know...........!
Thanks

[Sympatico]

old flames, what a sordid past you must have! Do tell...

Sensual art in words.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Mike.

That's what I'm talkin about

[redflutterby]

So warm and sweetly sensual. This makes me think of how a woman longs to feel both physically and emotionally protected by a man. That security of his body being a "safe" place as you lay wrapped together. *sigh*....

A soft romantic moment, captured very eloquently... Like a dream ;)

[Rogue]

Quite romantic, this one and beautifully written as well. :)
