(another fantasy  )We’re lying side by side Your eyes closed Your breathing slow and even And you needed some rest I knew You said, “I’ll just close my eyes for a bit” We’d made love for hours Neither willing to be satisfied easily Or accept that the next could be delayed Unable to satiate our hunger Who dreamed it would be so long before we met? The first touch … the first kiss... The chance to see See the emotion behind the words Read the eyes alive before us See the truth of love so long denied I’m treasuring Even as you’ve drifted to sleep... Your fingers still clutching mine... Clinging to hold onto The reassurance I’ll be there When you wake... I can sense You feel my eyes watch you, You open yours to see mine Looking at you... See me smiling broadly... My head propped on my hand Elbow stiff against my pillow Seeing my grinning ...you smile and say, "What are you thinking?" like you knew And I’m speechless How can I give speech to this plethora of thoughts? How do I express all I’m feeling right now? You see the stammer in my look My mouth opens silently Finally I just kiss your fingers And say, "Thank you sweetheart" As tears well up in my eyes So happy just to be with you So happy that all my fears Your reaction to me The electricity So apparent on the wires, So clear in the words we exchanged Were verified as we lay here And I say, “Face to face...I feel at this moment I am the luckiest, sexiest man in the whole world” You hold me tight And I realize You knew You knew months before this meeting And know even now, what I'm thankful for ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

~*Sigh*~ Oh to be so deeply in love and to be loved to much! What a warm and loving piece you've penned. What a wonderful thought and feeling! This is a perfect fantasy Wilfred. ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |

The depth of Love is a Treasure. Your words speak loudly of this. Be assured that Love given without expecting any return is the truest Love of all. Thank you for sharing here your peace and your heart. Do not worship the beauty of me. Worship truth, peace, and the spinning and weaving of plenty. Life can be full. Do not think otherwise and settle for |

This is so loving and real, doesn't feel like a fantasy at all. Or if it is it's a dream we most of us share. I really like this it's a great poem. Marsha |

Bill--This poem breaths with such reality in all its sensory and sensual detail that it is hard to believe it is just a fantasy.. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Martie, I believe you are right. This is all too real. It's something that really happened or is happening. Written in such a natural style. A beautiful and warm poem, Bill Liz |

Janet Marie- I did read - and thanks twice - and I agree you're right - JMHO but anyone not feeling this way about it I think a fool Sheri- The feeling - is better than a good cup of coffee on a frosty morning - I can carry it all day without being 'wired'. Thank you. Athena - once again welcome and thank you. Love is not love until it is given away. Marsha- you've expressed my feelings exactly - Thank you Martie- It's really simple - I'm in love and I've a vivid imagination. Thank you Liz- If I could but make it real - it would become so in a heartbeat - it has simply been generated by my imagination. Thank you Paula - Making it true will be a miracle Thank you Vicky- My online time has been severly limited - I'll try to communicate better ~S~ thank you |
