Close Your Eyes



Close your eyes,
Breathe,
Feel the lips of the morning breeze tease your neck,
Hear it whisper its sweet melody, ever enticing,

Close your eyes,
Breathe,
Remember the daylight, first sunrise of spring,
And the old swing in the park where mother used to play,
Remember how she smelt,
Her kisses so warm yet subtle,

Close your eyes,
Breathe,
Be with me in this moment, forever,
The stars are not yet ready for you my love,
I hear the circle in the sky singing your name,
Stay with me,

Close your eyes,
Breathe,
Go to sleep now my love,
Remember me, feel my lips greet your neck,
Hear my warm breath, ever enticing,
I'll remember your kiss,
So warm yet subtle.

Close your eyes...
