In The Tides Of My Dreams The ripples crash upon the shore In tender kisses, nothing more Each wave in gentle cadence rings As in my sleep, my true love sings I feel him now, here by the lake As from my dreams, I slowly wake His words, how soft, they call to me Here on the shore of endless sea Wake me not tonight my love In quiet whispers from above Just hold me close inside your mind Leave the pain of past behind Meet me in my dreams tonight Then pull me close by morning light < !signature--> What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compaired to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 09-26-2000).] |

I fear that if I was in anyone's dreams, they'd be nightmares! *G* This is great, Hoot!!! It got a longing sigh and a double read. *S* |

Ruth - Very visual poetry - I could see you sleeping there, sweetly nuzzling your pillow, one leg hanging off the bed, hair all mussed up, a little drool seeping from the corner of your mouth, soft snores and whistles, yellowish filmy stuff in the corners of your eyes, one hand under your pillow, you laying on the other arm with that hand scratching your inner thigh.... lovely, simply lovely - lol. I DO love this poem, BTW. It realy flows well. Belle - You know what, Lady? Sometimes it hurts me when you put yourself down, because I think you are one of the loveliest people in here. Just a friendly little chasitising of somebody I think is grand. OK? [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 09-26-2000).] |

This is the poem I've written in my mind so many times (Not exactly - I'd want to be wakened) With your permission I'll send it with your name - saying Ruth speaks for me. ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

WOW! I've had this kind of sleepy half asleep half awake moment of being in love. I've just never described it nearly so well! |
