Analysis of Drifting off
I truly am content, with my head upon your chest
for there is no better pillow, than your perfect breast
you banish all my worries, leaving me with no care
when you slide your long fingers, lightly thru my hair
and nothing slows my hearts weary pound
like hearing your, subtle breathing sound
and as I slowly drift off into slumber
I hope our days know not number.
