nocturnal waltz


nothing is right tonight and i am out of sorts
i try to sooth the edges, stroke them smooth
instead i see you with my eyes closed
but your touch is too far away
even so, maybe especially so
i share the song of you

i dance in your dreams as you do mine
silly thoughts make me smile, easing
this restless spirit of me tonight
and behind my eyelids i feel
warmth from you to my body
as you sing invitation

when i open my eyes, you are there
watching, smiling, moving with me
from outside-in we are together
our voices meld as my edges
smooth, soothed and held
by you close, we dance

in the dark we dance
sharing the night

Such longing, such passion! I'm restless tonight too, but for very different reasons.
It hurts when those arms ache and he isn't there.

Those longings that occur in the night
when for now you can just
dance in the shadows, a pretty place and poem to be in

Ohhh, dear Alison, I adore this kind of nocturnal waltz. When the intense yearning brings bits of dreams that seem more real than reality will ever be.

You dance so charmingly with your words and you inspire.

Love and hugs.
Margherita
