Fall awake my love, fall awake. Open your eyes once more, let us dance again. Return from your endless slumber and dwell with me. Dwell with me. Dwell with me.
Hold my hand again. Rise up from this white linen bed, and pull your life support away. Breath on your own once more, and let us run away.
Let me take your golden hair and weave it through my gentle fingers. Softly, carefully, I’ll send your body into shivers. But only after you wake, my love. Only after you wake.
I am pained to watch your voluptuous lips breath calmly in silence. To know that you hear my voice, but I am forbidden to hear yours. When will you come out of your world of dreams, to join reality? When will we dance and laugh again?
Are we doomed by this dreadful stilling of your mind? Are you to remain unconscious till we die? Will you grow old upon this bed? Suffering, suffering, suffering, in silence.
What is your world like, my love? Do you dream, my gentle pet? Do stars go shooting out over your head, while your mind dances cross worlds o’ fantasy and lore? Or are you awake to hear me gently whisper your name, your name? Your luxurious name?
Carpe diem, beautiful girl, arise once more. End this horrid sleep now, and come with me. We’ll fly through dreams uncounted, sailing through stars unencumbered. Far, far, past gravity,  far past the limitations of reality.
Open, open, open! Open your beautiful eyes my sleeping girl! There’s a world, a world to know! People that need your loving touch, your gentle smile, your warm presence….I need your touch, your smile, your presence. Oh God, how I need you, I need you!
Wake up! Wake up! Beautiful girl! Arise! Arise! Arise! My  lover, arise!
I implore you to throw out your arms and meet me in a passionate embrace! Touch your tongue to mine. Hold me and don’t let go. Place your arms on my chest, let me know you’re real!
In dreams I walk with you, and in this white-washed room I talk with you. I have visions of you falling awake, only to realize that these are visions of hope and no more.
But hope holds still, as I sit by your side. I rub your fingers gently up and down.  Your hands are still soft as silk.
Years pass. They fade. They dance. But I’m still here. Still locked within romance.
Arise, my beautiful girl, arise. I’ll kiss your lips tonight, and pray that my touch your life revives. Please my darling, open your eyes.

Flowery prose from a lover to his beloved. She sleeps on, while he waits by her side for her to awake.

I was thinking about what it must be like for people who lose their loved ones to death, or to paralysis and this short fictional piece came out in the style of the Song of Solomon.

Juro que si he de escribir o hacer algo en la vida, sera sin temor ni pusilanimidad; sin horror al que diran; con la franqueza que salga de mi cerebro; que ha de ser libre de prejuicio y dogmas.

Wonderful poem, but the line "Oh gawd, how I need you" ruins the whole thing, change it to "God" and it will be perfect
:iconsardonicsteve:

Life is lovely when you live it on the clever side. Life is sweet when you live it on the wiser side. Life isn't a bitter drink when you leave out the jin. Life is so much more interesting when you pair ice cream and whiskey.
