It was the time before sleep.
You and I greedily crept toward
The last pink and white pill.
We anticipate in sleep
A tug to dream
Safe from crags of ice.
Outside is the dangerous world
Of a lonely knight
Seeking us with a frozen spear
In the icicled night.
Sleep will not come until morning light.
My spider-jointed fingers crawl
To your white thigh.
You, love, sweep it away
With screams of tortured delight.
Sleep well, you, as I agree to obstain.
Tossing through the waves of sheets
Warm and cold.
The water that destroyed a lifetime
Of ancient fleets.
