And while I'm awake, staring into deep darkness,
listening to the crashing waves, so soothing,
i wonder what dreams you are dreaming,
if i'm a part of them.
I envision a content look on your face
as you nestle your cheek deeper
into the pillow,
your arm encircling another,
your subconscious wishing it were me,
for my warm touch, yet goosebumps
prickling my skin as a tingle would work
it's way down my body.
The sound of the surf
bringing me back to reality,
the darkness that engulfs me,
takes me in whileheartedly,
filling every open space
of my heart,
my soul.
And then I realize
this isn't where i should be at all.
And I wonder if i sneak in quietly,
gently exchange my body for the pillow,
would i wake you?
Would you want to take
my warmth from me,
to feel me next to you.
I only wish to do this
so i can let the rhythm
of your breathing
lull me also
into a sweet content dream.
To feel your stomach and chest
against my back, your arm
securely around me, protecting me.
I really wish I could have that dream,
where you would slay all of my past evils,
leaving them lay scattered about,
lifeless,
in some remote place
where i would never find them again.
And when i awaken,
it is to your gentle touch,
as soft a caress as your can be,
the feel of your lips on my ear
and then my cheek.
Your soothing voice nudging me
to awaken, softly,
a low whisper in my ear.
And when i open my eyes,
your face in front of mine,
the smile i see in your eyes
as you stare into mine.
The eyes say so much,
with just a glance,
there will be novels written
of ours, traveling miles
over the expanse of time.
The smile that reaches
right through me everyday,
down to my heat,
where it will forever be stored,
kept safe from harm,
to be cherished
as a beautiful memory,
forevermore............
