      Nightsweat and heat
      That covet the lonely dreams of youth
      Let the magic flow inside of me
      I weep for my illsuions of you
      I dream of you and the
      Sweet little kisses you place on me
      Wrap up your smile and give it to me
      To have when I'm not with you
      To look at when your away
      To kiss when you're not here
      I love the endearments you give
      It feels like a victory

The night is my companion
The solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied?
Sarah MacLachlan, "Possession"

This was great. I liked the title and i think the poem is wonderful to match. Great job in the expression here. I would think it'd feel like a victory and i hope everything happens to ensure that you attain that feeling.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

"It feels like a victory"

I think that's a really great ending.  The whole thing is very well done, thanks for sharing it!

I enjoyed this poem. It's such a great feeling when you find someone who can overwhelm you so much. I hope this is true for you. Great writing.

"Wrap up your smile and give it to me
To have when I'm not with you"

This is a wonderful piece. The dreams of youth are a wonderful thing, and you describe it all so well. Keep up the great work!

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

I loved this...I really felt what you were trying to say.  Maybe because I have these dreams every night.  I loved the part where you said, "Wrap up your smile and give it to me/to have when I'm not with you." I wish I could do that too.
