Sleepy desire

Hours without sleep,

I need your touch,

Tired enough to weep,

Is a kiss too much?

 

Clawing at my eyes,

I miss your voice,

Reality saying goodbyes,

I need to make the choice.

 

Eyes burning red,

The nape of your neck,

More than a bed,

More than a peck.

 

Losing consciousness,

Your taste in my mouth,

Body gaining weakness,

I should travel South.

Author's Note

Note, every odd line is a poem of sleepiness, every even line is a poem of desire.

This sounds so lovely, i can feel that every line you wrote you mean with deep passion. Interesting idea on switching up every line, it created a beautiful rhythm...good job, your getting better and better at writing romantic poetry. :) i can not only just feel your desire, i know it...brilliant.

I could really feel the emotion when I read it, and felt the desire and need as well. Really good.
