My Body Pleads For Slumber Poem by kimberly craig

my body pleads for slumber
but, no, thoughts of you refuse to release
my attention
no one has ever dared disrupt my dreams
before you
how bold you are
overbearing almost
to command my waking hours is one thing
but to steal my sleep is quite another
thoughts of you, your tenderness
your passion
so contradictory, yet so expected
full of surprises, you are
i have given you my attention, undivided
willingly
now please
let me rest
