You come to me in my dreams with passion in your eyes.
My own yearning fills and stirs me as I sleep.
The softest moan escapes my resting heart.
Your contact touches my mind in the deepest of dreams.

I see your shadow cast by moonlight upon a partition.
Flowing effortlessly across the room, settling near.
Your murmurs spur me in every way as I move.
Captured in my dream,  stay and give me pleasure.

I see myself grasping you, kissing your yearning eyes.
My fingers, anxious, glides smoothly over soft skin.
I adjoin my lips to your own, your desire flows in me.
We moan as one as my dream takes us this night.

You are reclining before me, the soft light of moon radiant.
A star’s shimmer casting back from your eyes to mine.
I hold your smile in my hands, you kiss them.
Your tongue caresses your lips as you thirst.

My reality awaits me, I shudder that it will come soon.
Memories of each kiss, touch, caress begging to stay.
Keeping you there, I strain against awakening.
Will I remember, will you be with me as day dawns?

This is GORGEOUS....and exactly what I'm talking about! mmm, mmm, mmm, I particularly loved this:

"I hold your smile in my hands, you kiss them.
Your tongue caresses your lips as you thirst."

Total sensuality...and if I keep reading poems about such sweet dreams? It just may cure my insomnia...(wish I could download them into my REM's library) simple sighs....

Peaches...like the sandman...I like to
sprinkle a little romance over eyes so
that visions may come upon the reader
as they go to sleep...thanx.

As I wish upon a star tonite...
I hope for sensuality to arise.
As I close my eyes from light
I fall into dreams of warm sighs..

Thanx Karen....sweet dreams
