love it...simple language and strongly emotive .. and is written to be taken on more than one level .. those first thoughts and impressions on waking ..or just before...can have such a strong impact on at least the first few hours of the day ..if not more .. the space between dreams and the "real" world can be stretched sometimes ..and oh how the imaginations can get ones full attention ... i love the title and i love the poem ..and how they work together to create a sensual thread .. so glad we have met.

This is an "oh, oh, oh!" poem! I love those poems that are able to reach out and grab us, commanding our full attention. When someones words touch us like that it's soooo special. I'll favorite this one!
Oh yes!! this is one of those special poems that stir the heart with a tenderness that not too many can express, words we all keep in our subconscious, waiting for someone to whisper them to us. It is a clear expression of seductiveness. This is, "Love Me Tender" all over again. Beautiful!! Emily. Maybe Everything.
i think the thing i liked most about this was the sort of quiet confidence running through it. the way the fog, the words, the dream... all sort of insubstantial and yet they carry you, influence you, and seduce you.

I am no Wendy;
but my voice brings you back to me.
And you sit around my feet,
anxious for a story
or a kiss.
Listening to my words
spinning adventures,
like so much g.. more..
