I don't want to sleep I don’t want to sleep tonight; Knowing you are by my side. I don’t want to miss a single moment you are near. In my heart I know, that time with you is fleeting So, I just want to lie here, and listen to your song. Soft snore’s that seep into my soul Warm breath that drifts across the room. Your little midnight moans and sighs (I smile as you slumber on) I don’t want to miss the smallest one I don’t want to sleep tonight; Knowing you are by my side. I don’t want to miss a single moment you are near. In my heart I know, that time with you is fleeting So, I just want to lie here, and watch you quietly Silk hair spiked by my caress Full lips that eagerly sought my kiss Lids feathered over flashing eyes Sinewy arms that held me tight I’m wrapped up in the wonder as you dream. I don’t want to sleep tonight; Knowing you are by my side. I don’t want to miss a single moment you are near. In my heart I know, that time with you is fleeting So, I just want to lie here, and marvel for a while I covet every stolen hour The miracle of one more night Your spirit that envelops me The ecstasy of love absorbed Please don’t let the day break, is my plea I don’t want to sleep tonight; Knowing you are by my side. I don’t want to miss a single moment you are near. In my heart I know, that time with you is fleeting So, I just want to lie here, and pray for time with you |
Additional Notes:
This is a poem I have been struggling with. Partly because I wrote the last 2 verses a while after I wrote the rest of the poem and I’m not really sure that they are an asset to the poem. I’m also not sure about the “refrain” does it work, or is it too much. I know this one needs something, but I just can’t put my finger on it. All comments are appreciated..
