Drunk on Lullabies

My head throbs,
Pulsing with soft tunes.
Gentle, hypnotic melodies
Dropping my eyelids.

Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye,
Too much, too much!
Feeling so drunk, so light-headed –
Dizzy from your lullabies.
You try to drift me down to sleep
So gently,
Your downy cashmere words,
Pulling me down.

I fear you may have been
Over-successful.
You pushed me so far down into my mind,
I wonder if I’ll ever wake up.
