One quite night I dreamed of a softness
The touch of lips I have yet to taste
Once dreamed of never to be forgotten
I will yearn until love I have faced

Until time finds the one I dreamed
Held within these arms I mustconfess
Never will another night pass by me
I don't go wanting that sleeps caress

I really like the title Don. It sets up the verses very well.....I enjoyed the images you portrayed!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Thank you all for taking the time to read this poem. The dream that inspired it was more intense than these words can convey. They can never let you feel the loss of lonelyness or the memory of the touch. That dream was more real than any I have ever experienced before.
Your words of praise are greatly appreciated.
