I stir lightly,
As the whisper of your steps,
Reach my tired and lonely ears.
Carefully you come in,
Take of your shoes and change into your bed clothes.
Careful not to disturb me..
But I know you are there.
I face the wall still somewhere between here,
And my own dream realm.
Your kiss softly touches my cheek.
Your fingers brush away the stray hair,
From my face.
For moments, your hand caresses me.
Seeking, finding, then softy rubbing.
A soft moan from me,
But one of rejection again.
Sleep will not let go.
I hear you sigh,
Roll over..
Back to my back.
Before I tread back into the world of slumber,
I shed a sad tear.
For a wasted moment,
Realizing the world has us in its grip too tightly.
And we are far too young for that to happen yet.
Far too hopeful.
Why must we be this exhausted?
I fear we are slowly loosing site of each other.
Shall we search for us again?

God, is that a tough one. You captured that invertigo stage in a relationship so wonderfully. I know I have witnessed this exchange before, It's what you do next that changes everything.

THIS POEM REALLY SENDS A GREAT MENTAL PICTURE, HOWEVER SAD THAT IT MAY BE. I HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME POSITION TOO MANY TIMES.

This is a great poem. I hope when I get married I never do this to my bride. I am not stupid though. There will be those times I am sure, I just hope that when that time comes I will remember this poem. I hope I will put my bride's needs above mine.

thanx for an outstanding poem.
