KISS ME TO SLEEP
My eye is in conflict with sleep
My body is numbed as if I'm dumb.
Come nigh like a hot fire
and warm me up from the cold.
Come nigh this night!
Let your waist sway back and forth
dancing in the garden of my arm
like a fish's motion in the ocean.
Come nigh this night!
Let's make our mouths clasp and clap
Let's do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
to bring back to life, my dead body.
Come nigh this night!
Let my gentle lips have a safe trip
as it journeys from your forehead
down to your pretty cheek and lips.
Come nigh this night!
Hold me dear to your bosom
Let our lips embrace each other
and enjoy the feeling till they fall asleep.
