As I Sleep As I sleep The soft timbre of a lyre caresses my skin For my dearest Love serenades my soul My dreams are filled with songs of passion Each note, A sweet incantation bewitching my heart I plunge my obsessions into the watery pools of your spirit The water ripples and awakens unbeknownst desires Every night I take to wing in the crisp evening air My spirit is a dove's shadow flying high over a turbulent sea Your music adorns my every thought And your soft face is reflected in my tears
