LET ME SLEEP

LET ME SLEEP

His hand slowly travelled upon the pale cheek

as her closed eyes were trembling in her sleep

And as pure lust was growing inside him deep

he felt his blood freeze when heard the lips weep:

'Please let me sleep

for I fear the light

that pierces my eyes'

What terrible nightmare,thought he,tortures her mind

as the beloved body slowly moved beside him

what a sad thing to fear is the daylight

even through the delirium of a dream

'Please let me sleep

for the sadness

the despair of the daylight

burns my eyes,

please let me sleep'

With a trembling voice he spoke her name

'wake up my love,you have been dreaming'

again and again he said the words in vain

until he heard the voice once more weeping

'Please let me sleep

for I can feel your breath upon my skin,here in my dream where time stands still

Please let me sleep

so for a while my mind can think that,like in my dream,you'll be forever near'...
