When you dreamt last in yielding soft I caught...the smile gracing your face Would I never to replace such tranquillity I would climb the staircases of endless ascension to meet you in that place...of precious encounter I’d weave silken strings to capture your content You have bound me in your night webs, clinging As the somber cotton swallows sing deeply, sleep As I secretly gaze...closely..my prying eyes pensive If I were just a firefly of sparkle, I would rejoice Accompanying you..wherever you choose to flow, river reeds, mountain streams, the sea, any naked body of watery find Even in cupid arrows strike of fancy, prancing In a super hero state...in fantasy’s locus lane A plane, a ship, a carriage, what drives your dreams? If you knew I watched your sleep smiles, would they cease? I am so careful not to stir the milk of your unconciousness Even in kiss of the traces of white templing your hair. I pray to wake, for my own selfish sake, each time sublime I will never ask of you to spill....your sanguine I’ll simply lie my head on the same pillow, in sweet aspire |

What soft, lilting romance this is. You make the reader fall into the tenderness of this one. What beautiful thoughts of love you have started my day off with Regina. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

In dreams he went serene a smile he left behind to view, and beams content it seems his night was spent aflight with you. |
