as i lay sleeping
wet kisses fall from the sky
your scattered secrets
splashing upon my cool skin
melting you into my heart

Wow...I'm awed into silence...
This is truly great work, dg! All that imagery and emotion into a tiny package...how DO you manage it?   Beautiful job!!!  

And of course, hope to see many more!

"your scattered secrets

That's a really nice line to think about!
Beautiful!

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,

Hey this was great! I loved how it flowed!
