And All I Ever Dreampt of Came to Me

I wanted him for so long. He had wanted me. One night in January everything I dreampt of came to me...

 

And all I ever dreamt of came to me

One night in January as I fought back

The cold. I remember your threat to sleep

When you glimpsed me in the shadow and dark.

For weeks I dangled anything before

Your eyes, moving in closer, closer each

Time. I watched as touch found our new report

Crashing further into each other’s reach.

 

I found worlds in your bed – planets and stars,

They moved with us all those long days and nights

Bouncing endlessly off your mirrors

And swirling in the rolling lava light.

 

Last night I dreamt that soon was fin’ly here;

As the sun climbed the sky, you disappeared.

Sonnets are NOT my thing. I'm definately more of a free-verse girl. Be gentle!
