Fair to middlin' of nowhere

In my fevered
sleep
I dreamed
pain warped
dreams
of you.

Waking now,
fever broken,
thirsting for
your touch,
I reach for you.

Be my dream now.
Let your touch
soothe
me.

Stroke  away
the lingering
memories
of that
fevered sleep.

Would that who you were thirsting for came to you . . .

He did. Just holding my hand made tension release. I really felt awful. Feeling better today, just wiped out. ~L

Very nice, glad he arrived and let the tension release.

true love never looks after it's own interests

It is crazy the things we dream when we are sick. And amazing the comfort of simple loving touch. ~L

Enjoyed...

Jimmy,
I am of the opinion that it is the creative ones among us that have the wackiest dreams and can remember them. I believe you fall into that group. ~L
