In my dreams

I dream of you on sapphire seas
in the early morning mist
sailing through a blue grotto
that leads to your ocean.
Off shore and all alone
the scent of sandal wood and floral gardens
entwine themselves to the sun and sky.
See through white linen skirts around the edge
saved for Sundays best
I confess

In my dreams
I dream of you.

Stringing leis in an array of plumeria and jasmine
that bow to exotic pleasures and miracles.
Sheer curtains billow at my window
pikake and ginger
slow dance in the breeze
complimenting the passion.
Like diamond tear drops
sparkle in the sunlight,
silk on satin clings and sizzles.
A fan hums a lazy rhythm
swaying palms seduce the wind
skims across your skin.
My slip slides
off the shoulder
a hint of strapless tan lines
polished bronze,  
discreet in shadows
splayed across the Mediterranean.

Blushing streams in the afterglow
where I wear you at my leisure,  
on my wrists and the nape of my neck
between lush ferns
and the soft valley of passion and desire.
Deep in the heart of a woman
sleepy eyed and shy
the sweet breath of a sigh
dims the light beneath my lashes,
sipping honeysuckle off your lips.
Like a french perfume permeates the air
the scent of you is every where
in my dreams

I dream of you.

Lori sweetie when I saw this and read it I knew I needed to leave this for you.





Your words made me think of this right away...both, so very beautiful as if they were meant for each other.  

Loved this gal...Hugs  ~D

Thanks to all of you good poets.  And Donna, you have completed my poem with the picture you put up.  
It suits my words perfectly.  Thank you very much for being so thoughtful.

Makes me want to stay awake and dream
so the dream never ends
Such bliss never lasts too long
beyond the first kiss
Stay a dreamer, sweet blonde poet of slumber

Oh darn, I accidently bumped this up to the top when I was rereading it for the tenth time, how clumsy of me.

Oh well, this just gives those who missed it the first time a second chance to enjoy it once more.

Bluezy, again, this was beautiful!
