I am aloof then
when the morning sun comes by
and waits warmly at my window
and you step over my eyes
with the whispering of perhaps

I am a stranger then
when the ocean speaks softly
from her distant edges
and you cover my ears
with fantasy fingerings

I am a dreamer then
when the mountains lean low
and their shadows reach my mind
but your breasts are there
keeping my thoughts shaded

I am a gypsy then
when the hounds are lapping
at my ankles wanting their mastering
but you tease me with panting
and pretend your animal has urges

I am kept undone then
when you keep me wanting more
of your sigh less sky
without even a cloud to bruise me
it is then that I am too distant

and on tomorrow I must forget you

Nothing wrong with wanting more..sometimes you just don't get it were you want to.

  I really like this one my dark friend.

You are quite the Love and Dream Poet, Mr. D!

And it is comforting to hear that the forgetting phase will always be tomorrow ...
till tomorrow will be now, but not NOW!

Enchanting!

Love,

Did you feel my sigh?  I think it brushed the words as I read.  Magical.
