I’d been dreaming again
And the sweat was dripping from my face
When I roused to a level of awareness
Somewhere between a fevers delirium
And a lover’s afterglow.

Same theme
Different dream

I’d found again what it was like
To know the taste of your lips
To feel you touch me in gentle caring
As we fell into the clouds of down
In the old feather bed.

You spoke,
But all memory of the words was lost
In the lust you brought bubbling up in me

It wasn’t the words anyway
But that you were there and willingly
Desired to be touched.

I roused around
Found my way to the sink
Where I washed the stale smell of sweat
Off skin that looked pale and older than
Even I remembered,
Wishing I could consummate
What started in dreams

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ron, my heart goes out to you, I think we can all relate to these feelings every now and then, for I dream ever so much of being with my dream girl and unto, then I dream of her every night yearning to touch her and feel for her! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is emotionally powerful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Who wants to wake up from dreams like this? Not me. I say turn the alarm off and go back to sleep. Amazing how some people can leave such an impression on us, isn’t it?

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Like Roy Orbison said...
"In dreams I walk with you.
In dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you're mine
all of the time.
Only...in dreams"
