Mistress of Sleep

I want the Angel of Unconsciousness to come
to relief my body from this pain
I want the sleep to flood my mind
to release these strains of mine

I want the Fairy of Rest to whisper in my ear
Peacefully, to erase my fear
and let the drowsiness appear

I want the Seraph of Calm to sing for me
to let the song fill the room and enchant me,
Soothing my nerves and bringing the tranquillity

I want the Queen of Insentient to caress my cheek
until I sink into the oblivion of lovely dark sleep,
warm and safe slip in to the void so deep

I want the Empress of Dreams to invite me in
to show me the wonders of the world,
and all the places I’ve never been
to let me play in her emerald tower,
carefree like a child for an hour

Hiding from the dreary and grey,
from the harshness of the day,
unburdened for a few hours
seeking adventures and magic of a land so far away
