sleepnow and movecloser
leave the world to turn
rest upon my shoulder
distant embers burn
sleepnow and movecloser
day has almost gone
sunset sparks a pleasure
now we are alone
sleepnow and movecloser
shadows fill the gloom
feel the warmth that whispers
through the silent room
sleepnow and movecloser
life is on our side
death is swept forever
on the turning tide

thanks Martin - for reading and commenting - I had 'Comeclose and Sleepnow' rattling round my head all day and finally set down the first verse and promptly remembered it was a poem by Roger McGough! - so a big nod to him.
I'm not entirely convinced by my endeavours but hey-ho - trying to be romantic but death made a late appearance.
Nice poem, but it feels more like a song. very good it creates a really warm atmosphere.

HI Colin. Thanks for your comments on a poem about nothing. Written out of desperation but you know the tap won't turn now and again.
I thought this poem very illuminating and life affirming. I don't know why but I thought of Winston Smith as played by John Hurt in 1984 in bed with that super sexy lass.
