As I watch, I wait and weave....

When I saw your face, I saw beauty beyond compare
I saw lips waiting to be kissed, caressed, touched
I saw eyes deep with desire, taunting me as I gazed spellbound.
I saw the line of a sensuous nose, waiting to snuggle my neck
I saw dimples so cute, showing a noticeable lover’s flush.
I felt hair soft, wavy, lusciously long, ready to cover my face.

I wanted to say long ago how immeasurably you have touched me.
I could not, for I was speechless, overcome with hope and love.
I wanted to tell you how you looked, how I loved the taste of you.
How your perfumed ears and neck totally enthralled and devoured me.

You excited me beyond my wildest imagined dreams of erotic love.
You left me breathing heavily as my hands shook and became damp.
Your silhouetted figure intrigued me, I felt I must look again.
Your voice eluded me, leaving me searching for words unheard.

I cannot forget the first day I saw you in my dreams, smiling, laughing.
Looking as though  you knew I had been dreaming, lusting of you.
I stood there, an emotional love struck bag of male hormones, exploding.
My dream leaves as I arrive awake, memories tugging at my soul.
I feel the rumble of the wheels, the clack of the rails, coffee with cream.
A whistle blows, steam rises from a train, over the Rockies to the shore.
A tear falls down a cheek, missing the smell of salt air and sun as love
departs, saying goodbye.....

*sigh* I so do not like to say goodbye to dreams. This is romantically beautiful and was magnificent to read. Thank you for sharing it, my friend.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
