I’d been dreaming again And the sweat was dripping from my face When I roused to a level of awareness Somewhere between a fevers delirium And a lover’s afterglow. Same theme Different dream I’d found again what it was like To know the taste of your lips To feel you touch me in gentle caring As we fell into the clouds of down In the old feather bed. You spoke, But all memory of the words was lost In the lust you brought bubbling up in me It wasn’t the words anyway But that you were there and willingly Desired to be touched. I roused around Found my way to the sink Where I washed the stale smell of sweat Off skin that looked pale and older than Even I remembered, Wishing I could consummate What started in dreams |

(both the ache and the fire) |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Ron, my heart goes out to you, I think we can all relate to these feelings every now and then, for I dream ever so much of being with my dream girl and unto, then I dream of her every night yearning to touch her and feel for her! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is emotionally powerful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Who wants to wake up from dreams like this? Not me. I say turn the alarm off and go back to sleep. Amazing how some people can leave such an impression on us, isn’t it? If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
