Hypnotise
My mind
I can't get a moments peace

Claim
My body
And you'll have me in time

Own
My soul
But every piece is broken
When we say goodnight,
Sweet dreams,
Sleep tight,
Do you fall asleep?
Or, like me,
Do you lay in quiet reverie?
The night belongs to you
We exist
In the spaces between the lines
In the pages of a story
That we write at different times

We live
In the subtle phrases
In the corners of a poem
That we read in early morning

We love
In between the moments
In a way we can't quite say
That we know is far too dangerous
There are many words I wish I’d said,
while I still had the chance,
so many things we said we would do,
but we ended with only a glance.
Sometimes I let darker thoughts
Come out to play.
Taboo little ideas,
Delicious in their sin,
Lick at me in lust
And sometimes I give in
Add a bit of ✨️ spice ✨️
You are my dream; you are my wish, my sun –
You shine like hope, and I need that today—
You are my only, it’s to you I run,
When skies are grey, illuminate my way.
I don’t think you know, you are very rare,
Dear, my love grows with every breath I take,
You are unaware of how much I care,
A reason to live is what you will make.
So please don’t close your eyes, I’m always here,
Don’t take my sun away, just keep shining –
Now that you’re here, there is nothing to fear,
So now I must ask something defining.
Why don’t you spend forever just with me?
The sun shall never set upon our tree.
Second sonnet :) I really like this one. There is a hidden song in it, a classic.
