This poem is figuratively about sleep. I mean “figuratively” because I tried to capture the sensual, feminine essence of beauty, and put it here like it lives because of beauty. And because it lives in beauty, I also added a touch of comfort and imagination, like that of a true dream. And as my poems all have, I added a note of sadness at the end. :)

SLEPT
And close my eyes to jewel’s dream
Let her d’sire sink in my heart
Bring me your sheets of gold and gleam
Where fantasy has set apart
Her bosom’s full with pretty things
Her flow’ry hair like silver moons
Her cotton spell that always sings
With threads that bind like silk cocoons
Her eyes do glow as black as night
Her touch that lingers in the soul
Her fascination’s bright as light
Fills in thy wound, thy burn, thy hole
O Pandora! My life doth spare
Your box is chained within my vein
Thy tears were spilt on desert’s lair
Come, Morpheus! To where I’ve lain
