Somnolence (I crave all nights)

Waves of uncertainty playfully caress my eyes
Blinks devour the rapid glimpses of reality
While sensuously I rub my fingers
On the smooth, dry surface of my skin
Tears drop unsolicitedly on my cheek's contour
This, then the mouth gapes, revealing a dark mass
Suddenly a soft moan comes about
A tiresome surrender to unconsciousness
Or a lover's call in the crack of dawn
In my vision, darkness covets and relents to light
Dapples of sun's brightness sway in an ethereal dance
With its rhythm, things cease to exist, numbness tickles
The body slowly limping into a subconscious existence.
