Sleep Through the Night

Sleep as though
my head rested on your chest.

The taut skin of my belly
pressed somewhere upon your hip.
My legs stretch all akimbo,
wrestling yours in mindless, restless play.

One arm lolls atop you,
the other 'neath my breasts;
which nestle up against you
in their comfort, place of rest.

You roll a little closer before
that last, deep cleansing sigh.
Now both content in slumber,
exactly as we lie.

To me the miles between us don't exist.
Just fold the world as if it's flat. Then
we're only steps away from bliss.

So, close your eyes and feel me
wrapped around you warm and silky.
Your sweet breath upon my breast
as I whisper softly in your ear,

Sleep as though my head
rested upon your chest.

    I enjoyed this, but I must ask... Why did you change between fragments and sentences? It's an inspirational thought.
