Like a Sheperdess
Your voice caressing the cool night breeze
You call me to your side
I the lamb
Lost in cofusion from daily things
Rush to be there.. rush to hide

Your sweet breath traces the lines of my face
Your still eyes like wells of desire
Invite me into your pools of longing
Your magnetic skin soft and warm
Pulls at me holds me in its fire
Drifting ..Your softness enfolds me
The delta is broken


I float into nothing
This moment is lost in eternity
Where nothing is and nothing is not
I lay gazing at the heavens
Counting the stars on your face
As you lay asleep


I rise ..look back at the spent sheets
And return to the flock
All day I'll wait
Wait for evening
And the call of the Sheperdess once more

A hazy, crazy dream, wrapped in gossamer layers of fulfilment. Bravo.

The lamb and the shepardess.  The symbolism is great in this.
"I lay gazing at the heavens
Counting the stars on your face
As you lay asleep"

How sweetly romantic!!

Wow, Jon! I'm impressed! (Well, not like I wasn't with your first few poems... ) Beautiful dream-like sequence, great imagery and like child said, great metaphor!   I'm glad you started posting here at the Pub, and hope to see some more!
