You awake with a start
from a dream so real and divine.
She was there, flesh and blood,
saying sweet things to you,
giving you reason to believe
her lies once again.

She inspired you with soft lips
honeyed breath,
causing you to stand tall,
believing that if she asked
you could flap your arms
and fly.

Lying there among tangled sheets,
heart palpitations almost
lifting you from the bed.
So real, so intense, her presence,
you can't believe it wasn't real
until the alarm clock goes off in your ear.

You continue lying there,
sweat drying, tears falling.
Gripping the sheets in a closed fist,
you try to drift back into that
wonderfully decadence of
heaven on earth if only in your dreams.

Not to be. The alarm won’t stop.
You rise. Trudge into the bathroom.
Do what you must to face the day.
Into your vehicle, out of the drive,
hit the Interstate, where you become as one
with your bumper-to-bumper lifestyle.
She's still playing in your thoughts,
but dimly now, almost gone.
Until tonight.

Enjoyed reading this beautiful dream once again, dear Jerry!

I take it you have recurring dreams about this sweet woman ... that will give you material to write a sequel, yes?

Love,
Margherita

I guess by your comment, Margherita, I have posted this before. Sorry. If I could take it off I would. Thanks anyway for reading it again and commenting.

Ya, those dreams are great, but hey, watch out for that distracted driving. It'll get ya. Then again, maybe there will be a good looking nurse in intensive care.

The succubus is always a beautiful demon, J.P.
Always perfect, always willing..

I enjoyed reading about her in your poem.

Ms.E, I hope for the same thing. Appreciate your thoughts.

Let's hear it for the good-looking nurses in intensive care, Krawdad. Thanks.

Kat, seems I have no option but to dream. Thanks for stopping by.
