come to bed, you!

(sorry if this goes all wrong ... it's been a while since i tried any poetry, so maybe i've lost my touch. but you know, if it's words and they mean something, or move somebody, that's poetry, so in a way the bar is pretty low!)

everyone's tired;
we're all in a heap
girl limbs and girl heads
of girls who need sleep

it's been a long day
so much work and so boring
your lovers have needs that
(please!) need some exploring

elle's wanly impatient
aers nodded right off
hettie is reading
akane wants the light off

sasha's a spark
and a jolt in the dark
but even she has to be
(sometimes) shifted
from drive into park

shut it down!
it's enough,
all the writing and stuff --
you've done you
now do us --
there are pillows to fluff!

the rhymes are unwinding
words fade, i am finding
so shut down your head
and come join us in bed.

please, dear.
we're
at
the
verge
of a dream.
