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!

these words linger on in my mind like a sweet song. You see I can't sleep, it's 4 a.m., and this is telling me to go to bed and dream of such things...and use my dog caper as a poor replacement. lol No words again truly convey your way...I plan on reading all your work Lydia, I hope you don't tire of my reviews. I save your poems for moments like these when I need to read something that sings sweetly to ease my mind.

[Lydia Shutter]

Such a wonderful compliment to me, Jesserose. Thank you....and I hope you got back to sleep! Lydi**

Your words just glide across the page, Lydi putting the reader into a dreamlike state. The images are just beautiful and the love shines through like rays of sunlight.

"you are my blue sky on a cloudy day
ever whispering love into my pain"

Your absence here always leaves such a void. I come to rely upon certain poets to make me feel at home, and you are truly one of them!

My best,
Kelly

Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for your warm words. Hope all is well near Ghiradelli Square! Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, absolutely! ; )

As the song goes, sometimes we say it best when we say nothing at all. Indeed, a kiss, an embrace can convey more than what words can say. Lovely and gentle write Lydi :)

Thank you, Gabrielle. Lydi**
