I Slept with You last Night It was quiet when we talked, alone. You and me in the evening glow I could even see a smile, In the luminescent light I really wanted to hold you But knew I could not, at least yet And your lips danced in my mind With every word, that you said You told of dreams and loss All those changes in your life And really, I listened very hard But all I could think of was a kiss You laughed at my simple jokes So sweet to humor me so And my heart would ache With every one of your smiles I touched your lips with my mind So soft and warm, as I thought I wanted more with every touch But was afraid that you would run When we lay down to sleep I just held you in my arms, kissed your shoulder and your neck and saw our future in my dreams.

Very nice Parker The sweet romantic image was somewhat shattered when Serenity's reply reminded me of the cowboy hat though!  "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who believes that tenderness and intimacy go beyond what most try to obtain in a "bed" scenario. True caring and closeness go beyond what can be so easily had. very well written. Peace, Geoffrey |

Great work! and coming from a fellow Canuck too. Don't think you're the Lone Ranger with those surreal thoughts. I love the idea and the understanding. Of course this deserves a vote! |

Justbleu, thank you, it must have been a special moment. Shadow, thank you, you read it very well. It was a whisper, and it still whispers in my mind. Juls, thank you, if that poem even makes just one little flutter its done its job. L Tiuch, well thank you, I hope they learned their lessons well. Tess, thank you very much. Thank you all for responding so sweetly... Parker |
