SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

I wish U were

encased & confined securely

but

allowed to swish

back & forth

creating harmless

forceless waves

I wish U were

creamy, thick, & frothy

but

when consumed slowly

with streamlike flow

U travel through me

I wish U were

this perfect combination

of salted sweetness

unexpectedly enjoyable

like a

chocolate covered pretzel

lover's dream

I wish U were

quickly upon my lips

slowly savored within my mouth

acceptingly swallowed

I wish U were

careening swiftly

down my esophagus

and gently resting

in the emptiness

of my belly

I wish U were

so heavenly

so enticing

so good to the last

I don't want it to end

drop

I wish U were

able 2 induce this

euphoric state of weariness

I wish U were

this evening's fix

4 restless souls

untameable minds

and

broken hearts

I wish U were

that care packaged blend of

my Gramma's concocting

I wish U were

within me this way

soothin' this way

I wish U were

this glass

of

warm milk

butter and sugar
