and what he chose to do, was sleep with a few doubts.
The sun reached the zenith and things seemed to clear,
The rumble in his belly was all he could hear.

Get up now she said. Go brush your teeth.
Wash your silly face and come to eat.
Slowly with effort he rose to the task,
blanket still warm, while he searched for his glass.

Had the food, dishes were done,
back to sleep, clock struck one.
Time to dream, he said now.
Don't disturb! You may go to town.

Bring me a pillow, a feathery one,
red in color, soft as a bun.
Big enough for both to share;
when we lie naked and bare.

As the sun goes down, we shall see;
our passions growing, just you and me.
Some of the details read as mundane and I struggle to see how they add much depth to the piece. And the progression confuses me some, it's like you lay an action down and then immediately contradict it  (sleeping, now awake, nope sleeping again). There are some unnecessary words, and some lines as well I think, that you could edit down to help increase the coherence.
