Endymion's slumber


What Selene told Endymion as he slept...


Sleep a little more my dear,
Though scarlet rays tickle your eyelids to life,
To behold the prosaic distractions around.
Do not open them for I know,
That behind the closed lids, 
A world of our love does wait.



You are happier there than here,
In the realm underneath the closed lids,
Be there for me and for yourself,
We shall be forever there,
In this and in lives to come.

If I could lay my lips on your eyes,

I know you will not seek your sight,
But would happily linger on ,
My touch for eternity.
