Dreamiest...

awake in the dream...i feel you there
resting your hand upon me
casting my curls everywhere
hiding in shadows i see...

your eyes, a glint, a stern visage
i want, i wait, i kneel
your hands, their strength i don't misjudge
i only crave their feel...

the light it hides your face from me
and yet i see it still
hand on your chin, mine on my knee
bending to your will...

patiently i look at you
commanded by your eyes
and then your words of dusky hue
order me to rise...

gracefully i do as bid
and turn as your voice calls
all movement ceased, you forbid
my heart it thumps, and stalls...

and then you whisper on the air
back up, sweet one, come here
i take two steps with tender care
until i feel you near...

alas i wake, and see not you
but only your empty chair
no comfort of your arms ensue
because you are not there...

i fall in sleep, again alone
desire rising sharp
dream anew of waves now thrown
on landscapes in the dark

i see you there, your hand on mine
you lead me to the crests
i follow you into the brine
and close to you i'm pressed...

your hand it flows the water down
my shoulder as you touch
and heat meets heat, a shiny crown
caught in friction's clutch...

you lean to me, you pull me close
you speak of things undone
this tension leads me to the throes
created by only one...

from this i wake, again at dawn
to feel your lips so near
and smile to know that you are drawn
amazement found right here...
