lullaby

you burn in me 

a raging inferno

raising my blood pressure

quickening my pulse 

a stroke of your hand 

lips that whisper 

an urgent lover's song 

let me sing it with you 

as you lay me down 

under dark velvet skies

as I softly sigh 

sing this lullaby 

again and again 

sing this lullaby again
