To Fall Asleep

[t.arcadius]

As I drift away,
You watch my closed eyes;
You wait for them to open.

I'm lost in the gray,
Not so distant skies;
Your watch remains unbroken.

And perhaps somebody told you
I'm vagabond in chains;
If I disappear on a breeeze,
I'll soon be back again.

But I will not stay forever,
I will be only passing by.
You know I'm the kind of lover
Who must always say goodbye.

Our juncture is an ephemeral touch,
As my effects acquaint your luggage rack.
It will be up to you to let me go,
Kissing me softly on my naked back.
