sleepy sins

Crumpled blanket
Wrinkled sheet
Turning over,
Shifting feet.
The sky is dark
But I’m awake
Dreaming up a
big mistake.

I lay quiet
Try to sleep,
Lure my mind from
Yens I keep.
Sigh frustration
Toss and turn
Drifting through all
That I yearn.

Pining for lust
Quiver, quake
Crave so much it
Makes me ache.
Keep it secret,
Hide by night
Veil the fears of
Dream’s delight.

Should float away
Drape lids on eyes
Slumber off to
next sunrise.
