you are my dream

artwork by nik helbig

your sleepy caress

helps me surrender to gravity

     i slide into a dream

the zig zag of life falls away

only velvet soft wanting remains

we walk along the shoreline

          your shadow covering mine

kisses are silent substitutes for words

  and communicate so much more

i am clothed in lingering light

                 and yet naked as sunlight

you are my blue sky on a cloudy day

ever whispering love into my pain

     you are my dream

Ah, when we have one as this awaiting us in sleepy time, we cannot get there soon enough - forget the cares of the day, or those of tomorrow and slip away to a zone of total "being lost in you"!
Sensual and most enjoyable! Beautiful artwork to accompany your words which make your offering one of pure bliss!

dear Lydi, I discovered your poem under a
seashell that sparkled in the sun-kissed
beach along a bay ... It touched a chord of
passionate reverie... as petals of water lillies
glided along like lovers in romantic waves.
truly, Pat

Reading your love poetry is always so special, Lydia. This is as romantic as it is poignant. to have a warm , quiet place like that in a world full of chaos and commotion is the sweetest thing in life. may that 'dream' forever blossom!

The perfect moment when your love's touch or caress brings you the peacefulness with yourself and security while in their arms. Beautiful.

[Troy Henson]

What an amazing feeling to have. That someone, that special time where to lay and feel safe and the worries of time completely pass you by. If only this time would last an eternity.

Beautiful Lydi.
