She Comes to Me

by Michael


Late at night
as the crickets chirp,
while
the world sleeps
and
the birds
have quieted their wings,
she comes to me.

This sweet vision.

Oh how I await her
presence,
her fragrance,
the soft breathing
against my lips
just before
they meet my own.

And how I hunger
for her touch.

That soft and cool skin
against mine
as she whispers
of things
that I must keep
in secret.

As we embrace
and I deeply breathe her in,
I suddenly awake,
like so many nights before
to find
she isn't there.

It was but another dream.

And now awake,
like an echo
of something just said,
I can still sense
her presence
and take in
her scent
for just a few seconds
before
it melts away.

Enjoyed the realistic feel of longing in this piece.

her presence'


'like an echo' ... Oh, that's good !

Someday you will awaken, and she will still be there, with eyes closed......dreaming of you!!  

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

Mysteria,
What does she say?  Sorry...gonna leave that for a future poem. :-)  Thank you.

James,
Thanks for dropping in and reading.

Marge,
Liked "echo" huh?  :-)  I'm glad were able to read this one.  Thanks!

Karilea,
Yes, "soft" is exactly what I was after when writing this, as dreams have that soft feel to them.  Thank you. :-)

Just A Woman,
First, let me say that there is no such thing as "just a woman."  All women are most special, as are you.   :-)  Thank you for the "excellent" and for reading this piece.

Gentle Spirit,
I have to say that I really like "gentle spirit" a lot.  It's very pretty.  :-)  Thanks for reading and enjoying.

Sweet dreams to you also, my friend.  I'm glad you were able to read this one.  Thank you.

Sunny,
What a lovely thought. :-)  Thank you, my friend.

This actually did come from a dream.  It pleases me that you like this piece.  Thanks, my friend.

SEA,
Romance is always perfect, so writing about it makes it that much easier.  Thank you. :-)

Sven,
It's so good to see you here. :-)  Thank you for the very nice words.

Vandana,
Thank you for enjoying this. :-)

Marie,
I started to go further with this poem, but decided to leave it as is.  It seems that I did the right thing.  Thank you.

Sami,
Rub your hands together and warm up. :-)  I appreciate you reading and enjoying this.

Elizabeth Anne,
I think you're earning frequent posting miles, or something like that. :-) Thank you. :-)


Thank, everyone! :-)

I like the tender longing of this piece.
And the moments of dream's lingering
So true and beautifully written
