Sleepless Romantic
In the dark I sit and wait…I wait for sleep to grace me.
May slumber make my eyes to close and dreams bring me to face thee.
Alas the night seems not so kind, it brings forth thought and musing…
The workings of a restless mind allow no time for snoozing!
Wandering and pondering, stories and song…these are but parts of my torment.
To shut it all out and find inner peace…til morning comes forth in a moment.
To wake right beside you, fresh and relaxed is what we both aim to be true…
Yet the moon doth protest! Nay, skewers the jest! To quiet my soul all night through…
