Nocturnal Rituals (revised)

I sing along with you,
Silly me,
because it brings you
closer to me.
Your voice so soothing,
swooning,
titillating,
energetic,
seismic,
rhythmic.

It lulls me to sleep
numerous evenings.
Put you on repeat,
my sandman's treat,
so you never leave me,
So I don't have to flee
my dream sanctuary.
Stay cuddled
on winter nights,
wrapped in red velvet blankets
and resting on satin sheets.
Dreaming -
Tossing images,
Tossing wishes,
Tossing
and turning
only as necessary.
