whisper to me where ere you are
though I know you not
I will hear your voice
matters not where I am
your words will be delightful
will cause a smile
ere though I sleep
the sleep of yearning for
mystery woman of my dreams
lovers are lovers
only if they love truthfully
dreaming of distant strangers
who dream same dreams as do you
whisper words of eternal love
I will accept them into my heart
where they shall live forever
bolstering my own commitment
to our eventual physical entanglement
overflowing with sweet honey
for you to taste
forever shall our love be real
I call upon the great gods as witness
I taste your sweetness
in slumber which you bequeath to me
so do you accept from me
that which I provide so willingly
it's like a soft brushing across my mouth
the taste of love is exquisite
as the nights multiply
I take pleasure from your beautiful
unknown face
I feel your eyes upon mine
across the void we chance to meet
in wondrous, pleasing dreams
I awake knowing we will
someday
someway
surely make our dreams come true

Haha! Thank you, Kat for reading and commenting on my poem.

Owl, maybe she is listening, or maybe I'm just whistling in the dark.

You are right about how love combined with teamwork can move mountains, Spiros. Thanks for being here.

Hi Lori. Oh, I was never quite "away," just cooling my heels a bit. Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated.

This is so beautiful, JerryPat I couldn't help but be moved by it.  Excellent writing!

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Your "whisper" promised well and it has maintained the promise. Without dreams the world would be a cold place.

Enjoyed your romantic write very much.

Love,

Thank you very much, Margherita. I don't write love poems as often as I should I guess.

I like the warm...

and I like that dreams
are shared...

and I also like
that I've had similar dreams,
but please do change the scenario
just a little...

Sorry, Sunshine, I'm not sure I understand how I would change the scenario. It rambles along with dips and curves, but eventually ends with hope in the heart.
