Don't Wake Me

 

I see shadows dance across the room

as I lay quietly in my bed.

My body aches to feel his touch

forming visions in my head.

I want him lying next to me

so strong, lean, and tan.

I take deep breaths then count to three

and he appears again.

My love once real has gone away,

I still feel his presence looming.

I need to hold him in my sleep

don’t wake me from my dreaming.

Merveilleux!
Nicely formed and well dressed, dear poet. If only in dreams we can find them again, wake us not.

Yes, it has been known to happen but when not we can keep them in our hearts. Thank for your kind words my sweet friend.

Always welcome, dear lady.
