A Poem by Poetic Beauty

In the sleepy
Dream like moments
Thoughts drift drowsily
Across the ether

Memories dance
Slowly through the mind
Touching the heart
But for a brief second

In the listless
Hours before slumber
Your smile waltzes
Beyond time and space

Reflections glide
Creating visions
Of another life
That has long since passed

In the nocturnal
Moments before bed
Your warmth caresses
Evaporating the cold

Encompassing me
In Satin love
Snuggling in close
I allow myself to remember.

Featured Review

In that level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, the alpha level as it is sometimes called, the mind is in touch with memories that have long been relegated to the subconscious. That is apparently what is occurring here, as the speaker recalls scenes "of another life/ That has long since passed". I don't think reincarnation is referred to here; rather, a past relationship "Beyond time and space." These are memories, I think, of one no longer with us. They are seemingly pleasant ones, for the speaker wants to snuggle close. Perhaps they have been suppressed because the loss was too painful. Here, the pain is gone.

There is a comfort in this piece.
Memories can always warm the loneliest bed in a cold room. They speak without need of words, so deeply entangled at our roots, that we blossom when they're near.

I'm glad it mesmerized you.
Beautiful, warm memories that seem to awaken the soul to those sweet, warm moments of life. Every line is tender, smooth and moving to the mind and heart. Brings a wonderful sadness.

May the sweetest reflections always lift you, and the distance have no hold over you.
Dreaming with eyes open, and a body felt alive, oh how we encompass such ideas and emotions in such small bottle, frasco di perfume. Let it spread its smell, the metals wont be too far from the magnet

True only in small doses
In the warmth and security of ones bed when the reality of a cold and calculating world is for now obsolete, positive memories often drift into our consciousness of a time when life was much more idyllic!

Nice write, loved the sentiment in this yearning poetic reminisce!

True. Those are the only moments that I allow myself to think back to that time.
Dreams and thoughts. Seem to haunt our moments before sleep.

Snuggling in close
I allow myself to remember.Encompassing me In Satin love Snuggling in close I allow myself to remember."
I like and I understand the above lines. I must meditate to clear my head. Brain always thinking too much. Thank you dear friend for sharing the excellent poetry.
