In the swallow of sleep
from the belly
of my dreams
you appear wordlessly
just out of reach
beckoning me closer
to taste your vision

Dancing round my fire
I can not
escape the distance
of its light and warmth
to reach you

I show you
sultry seduction
come on
All but beg
Come to me
Come to me

From your enticing position
flipping a coin with a wink
you take my face
in your magic hands
and ever so slowly
kiss me awake
in a sweat

Yes, indeed, a gem of a wakeup call. You are just a good poet.

I'm glad you think so...I've been reviewing a lot of my work and frankly I'm not impressed. I kinda liked this one though. Thanks for liking it too.
