Dream Dragon by ©Richard Budig 1999 Cross words and traded looks Looks that trigger head flashes In a moment the wall is up We're perched on opposite sides Of our one-acre king sized bed It’s odd because the way we sleep We could rent the extra space But sleep comes hard tonight I finally give up and study you Study the curve of your shoulder Across the glacier of sheets separating us While I memorize the crest of your cheek A night frown stirs your face I find myself thinking about me Wondering why I flew at you You frown again and whimper Without thinking I glide toward you Crossing the glacier of rumpled sheets Parting trecherous ice berg pillows Until I'm stroking your forehead I feel you settle into me Making me feel like a knight Who just killed your dream dragon And I lay there wondering how it is We act so badly when we love so dearly |

ROFL I have slept on that bed! It's immense, I would feel like a sink hole could open up in the middle and we'd never notice...and ours was only a queen  I think I am liking your poetry my friend X ------------------ "We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" (Tombstone epitaph of two amateur astronomers) |
