In my dreams I dream of you on sapphire seas in the early morning mist sailing through a blue grotto that leads to your ocean. Off shore and all alone the scent of sandal wood and floral gardens entwine themselves to the sun and sky. See through white linen skirts around the edge saved for Sundays best I confess In my dreams I dream of you. Stringing leis in an array of plumeria and jasmine that bow to exotic pleasures and miracles. Sheer curtains billow at my window pikake and ginger slow dance in the breeze complimenting the passion. Like diamond tear drops sparkle in the sunlight, silk on satin clings and sizzles. A fan hums a lazy rhythm swaying palms seduce the wind skims across your skin. My slip slides off the shoulder a hint of strapless tan lines polished bronze, discreet in shadows splayed across the Mediterranean. Blushing streams in the afterglow where I wear you at my leisure, on my wrists and the nape of my neck between lush ferns and the soft valley of passion and desire. Deep in the heart of a woman sleepy eyed and shy the sweet breath of a sigh dims the light beneath my lashes, sipping honeysuckle off your lips. Like a french perfume permeates the air the scent of you is every where in my dreams I dream of you. |

Makes me want to stay awake and dream so the dream never ends Such bliss never lasts too long beyond the first kiss Stay a dreamer, sweet blonde poet of slumber |

Oh darn, I accidently bumped this up to the top when I was rereading it for the tenth time, how clumsy of me. Oh well, this just gives those who missed it the first time a second chance to enjoy it once more. Bluezy, again, this was beautiful! |
