I was asleep before
Unaware of reality

My slumber was deep
Peaceful as a midnight moon

My dreams drifted aimlessly
Tempting me to sleep forever

You awakened me
Roused my from my aged slumber

You lifted me from the depth of dreams
Kissed truth into my lips

I found myself lost
Stumbling along the path of consciousness

Caught between two dreams
Two perfect fantasies

You brush hair from my eyes
Allow the light of you to enter in

My senses come alive
Each eager to know you

You sit quietly beside me
Wondering if you compare to my dreams

I lay still beside you
Wondering if my dreams are jealous of you

For they are incomplete
Unfinished chapters of my soul

My dreams are emotionless thoughts
Distracting me from the realness of you

Lost in your aura
My dreams become distant

Replaced by your desires
Your dream catching love

As the strands of sleep weaken their grip
I look at you

With eternal thanks
I grasp your hand

My awareness is strengthened by you
You and your consuming eyes

I never wish to sleep again
