Slumbers Embrace

Layla Lair
Restless whispers
Impatiently await within the silence
Enclosing my heart in hushed promise
My dreams fill with voice and chaos

Pulling with utter anguish
Warm eyes enclose mine with longing
Filling my senses with breath and emotion
Consuming with the warmth of embrace

Shrouded with visions and weakness
My mind wanders and fills with sensation
Burning me with yearning so vibrantly rosy
Hopelessly deep and soundlessly I seep

Falling in a languid like slumber
Where I am forever lost
In a sea where I would gladly drift and drown
Breath cascades my flesh like perfections blush

Timelessly caressing
Total stillness surrounds

    Reading your poem I experience a gentle breeze,hear a melodious music,bathe in a refreshing artisan spring.You generate an inner experience while I read your poem.This is called lyrical appeal and you are a perfect lyricist.Great!

    Your poem has some hypnotic power over me. I was sitting here minding my own business thinking I'll read a couple more articles on AC then get up and play in my gardens. Now, I just want to take a nap.
