Dream Lover < !signature-->He comes to me, like a thief in the night, stealing my heart as if it were his for the taking all along. He whispers sweet nothings into ears that have been deaf; the words caressing and soothing like the gentle wind. He looks into my eyes as though he can see into my very soul; and I gaze back into his with eyes that have been blind. He touches the smoothness of my skin, his gentle fingers tracing across my body and electric currents ripple through my flesh with every touch. He steals my heart, my soul, and my very being. No longer am I in control. Senses dead for so long have now come to life and I cry out his name with a voice once mute. As night succumbs to daylight and the early morning light sifts through my bedroom window; I turn to call to him and he is gone ...Or was he ever really here. Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-03-2000).] |

Certainly a dream one despises waking from. Beautiful, Ruth.  |

Hoot, this poem was very nice and helps to understand the yearning of the heart. I enjoy reading your poems. Few express and reveal as you do! DH |

What a wonderful dream Hoot!! If such a dream was only...wait a sec...if real it is just a passing moment cuz, nothing lasts forever!! Take Care Bridgette Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." |

Well Ruth my dear, If it means anything to you....Your so perfect in so many ways.....I think I dreamed you into life. How else could you have fit my heart so well I used to be schizophrenic, but we're ok now so don't make me mad cause I'm running out of places to hide the bodies......LOL |

This is a very beautiful poem and describes so well a dream so close to one I've had, I could not have described it better. |

Hoot, your poems never fail to make a "movie" play in my mind. You paint the pictures so clearly for me to see. This is simply wonderful. I love reading your work!  -SEA |

Hoot- I think he was really there. Dreams are but our conscious desires ... through a clouded haze. Beautifully romantic. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
