For how long..My dear?

Love can be so mysterious...

In my dreams you are there
Lying next to me;
your arms holding me close.

Comfort, I find;
for with you I feel safe
My heart beats..So very slow
I hold my breath for a moment;
 and listen to yours.

The same beat...
Together as one..

Whispered words, I do recall
Moments of sweet surrender
Passion has taken hold;
and kept me its very slave.

I look at you;
wondering do you feel the same
I wonder what runs through your thoughts.

Do you think of me as I do you?
Do you find comfort within my arms?
My heart that beats so close to yours?
So many things I wonder on;
yet am afraid to ask.

Fear keeps my words silent
Of smoke screens that will vanish and alone I shall be to last

The moon is whispering
I turn my head towards the sound;
outside a luminous silhouette shines through my window
So bright...So powerful.

I stare...
A lone tear slowly trickles;
then moves down my cheek
Till finally it rest on my pillow.

Such is me at this moment.
Open and bare
With no eyes to see.
None to care.

In your arms I may find comfort
From all around.
Dreams real and make-believe

 But for how long..
My dear?

Loved this. It's very rich and deep. :)

[Calypso]

Very sweet and mature. Many love poems are too silly or sappy, but this poem is good.

[SpokenWord]

I thought this was going to be a sensual successful love poem but it went much deeper in the end. Holding on to fantasy is comforting but not as much as the real person who makes the dreams come to light. Your words flowed ever so elegantly as you told this story of lost love maybe? Great write.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Sometimes things can seem to good to be true... to question feelings is a natural part of being human... so live in the now cause tomorrow is uncertain.

[Moflo]

I was really into this poem. It sways in so smoothly and captivates the reader to continue and, when the tears are introduced, the reader really feels the emotion of being let down. Great write.

[Patches I'm not so new..]

Ohh such longing I too feel it that is the magic you create with yoyr writes .
holding the reader to the very end and making them feel the passion of your words the mark of a true poet!

This starts off with happiness flowing through it and a the end finishes on a note of sadness for the one you love is not there and there are many other things too and are the arms of a loved one always enough to protect you? Brillinat flow to this as always.
