So many myths you could so easily dispel.


All the secrets held so dear, you have heard -
All the sites unseen you have surely seen;
The whispers in the night so hushed,
With your front row seat of every scene.

Spinning in sleepiness but wanting your touch;
Hoping for the rush of your energy coming in -

The rush of my imagination, my heart feels.
And so I leave you for the land of dreams -
