O lover mine with pale translucent lip,
Soft as the cobbler’s finest suede,
With passion to make Eros blush, I sip
Of thy sweet vapours, innocent and unafraid.
Thine elegantly graceful neck
Is wonderous to see,
And with each calm and gentle breath
Thy voice whispers a lullabye to me.
Thine essence, like a jewelry chest,
Brims o’er with Wisdom’s gems.
O dearest one who knoweth me best,
Bestow thy treasured nights of rems.
Sing! O sing thine oceanic song
In rhythm with my heaving breast.
With thou! With thou do I belong.
Deliver me to Lethe’s deep and drowsy nest.
Pray keepeth me from Apnea’s cruel strangling grip
So I may sail to Morpheus’s isle of dreams
Where I shall dance and twirl and trip
Along his darkling streams.
Thy caring is Continuous and Positive,
My fairest Aerway, with thy faithful Pressure.
Ecstasy! To thee, my lungs and soul I give
Surrendering to our hearts’ nocturnal pleasure.
Happy breath! O easy breathing,
Flowing out and taken in.
Thy tender care I’m e’er receiving
Like a gift from heav’ns seraphim.
Our love etern shall reign supreme
Through days of strife and those serene.
Thou art my king and I, thy queen,
My dear belov’d CPAP machine.
