As I Lie Awake at Night

As I lie awake at night

Staring at the stars so bright

My vision begins to blur

And my mind wanders to her

Hair bright as a star in the sky

And two endless pools for eyes

Lips as soft as the petals of a desert rose

At which a touch could cure all woes

As I lie awake at night

Staring at the stars so bright

My vision begins to blur

And my mind wanders to her

With skin so fair

I'm compelled to caress with care

From her lip to abdomen my lips will roam

Till her eyes direct me back home

Our bodies entangle in poetic death

Passion builds with every breath

And as our commitment heightens

Our embrace tightens
Juxtapose as yin and yang
Wanting to finish with a bang
Just as we hit our crescendo
I'm startled by a BANG at my window

Now as I lie awake at night

Staring at the stars so bright

My vision begins to blur

As I wish to be with her
