An ode to thee

Keeping me company all night long
With me when I'm all alone and bored
Without whom I would shrivel up
Like a leaf with no root in the desert!
The eternal love of my life
Who makes me yearn so dearly
For the moment I can be with her
Seducing me when I'm all occupied
She envelopes me like the morning mist
That descends on the sullen sunflower.
We exchange no words, nor gifts
In powerful images and silence we speak
Making me scream with fear
Making me dream with joy
Only to be told it’s not all real!
She’s the one everyone ‘Dies’ to be with,
In blissful union happily forever.
O Lady Sleep, of, by and for you I exist!
