Conquer The Night

Waking I feel arms release me
that held me close throughout the night
I snuggle back not wanting free
from these arms that hold me tight

Drifting on passion dreams I wove
I move to gently kiss your lips
Embracing in paradise grove
beneath the stars that moon eclipse

Desire burns making my skin flush
as I’m lost to feather light touch
So real that warm flesh my lips brush
while in vision to you I clutch

I feel the warmth of your skin fade
when reality invades thought
My heart cries out as if betrayed
by fantasy love that I sought

Not wanting to conquer the night
and enter into lonely day
Waking moments become a fight
that in my dream world I might stay

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

let me dream of you
I care not to awake now
enjoying comfort

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Karen,

   I really like this I have a poem somewhat like this, but in another forum.  Dreams can be so wonderful.. but sooo betraying. You have to wake up sometime huh?  I enjoyed.

Hugs,
Tara

Karen, these lines send me to the stars:

Desire burns making my skin flush
as I’m lost to feather light touch

I could write volumes of poetry about them. As I forever relish the sensual touch and feel of love's tender lips and fingertips. A language of ecstasy by itself.

Thanks for sharing!

((Karen))

And conquer the night you will....Yet one more of
your poetic masterpieces as only you, our dream
weaver can pen...
