Between dreams and sheets

Between dreams and sheets

 

 

Lying here at the edge of dreams,

I pull the sheets around my body and close my eyes.

 

How I wish it was your arms that held me tight.

 

Your breath on my neck,

your fingers running through my hair.

 

Oh how I wish it was you,

and not the sheets.

 

I imagine you soft as silk sheets,

and whispering in my ear,

like a summers breeze.

 

I can almost feel your heart beating,

pressed close to mine.

 

My fingers run through the sheets,

pretending you’re here lying next to me.

 

I kiss the pillow,

but it’s not your lips.

 

I sink past dreams.

 

When I wake up I can see stains from the tears on my dreams upon the sheets,

softly I kiss them pretending they are your tears of love you have left me.

A beautiful, wistful, romantic longing write.
In the second last line, I might say tears OF my dreams instead of on.

[ron]

Thank you KL.
No I meant "on my dreams".
I hope it still works.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, it does, it's just a different meaning. :) hugs.

Great poem man. Really tugs at your emotions, especially if you are struggling to get a guygirl out of your mind and heart.

[ron]

Thank you. Yes it is...or hoping guy/girl comes back.

[Aaron Jinks]

True. Didn't think of it in that perspective.
