Did you know you slipped into my dreams last night, again?
Slipped yourself into the most private part of my head?
My fantasy,
Is it a dream?
I know it cannot be real between us, that you're a figment of my imagination
But you see so real
Eyes, hands, lips, arms
Your breath, your voice
So close, so tangible
Fulfilling my secret desires
Did you know you called me your love?
When slumber takes me, in between waking and dreams
You wait covered by a veil of darkness
For me
Before I'm aware of
I feel your present
The weight of your body beside me
Hot breath tickles the hairs of the back of my neck
How can such a small thing make me feel so alive?
Your form is close against my back
The feeling of firm muscle lets me knew I'm safe
Encircled in your embrace I am loved and hidden
Away from a world that will laugh at us
Judge us
Who are they to say what is normal
What is real?
I squeeze my eyes tight
Your voice comes to me like a soothing river of honey
' I adore you, my beauty . Hush I am here.'
And you are
Oh but let me see you!
Feast my eyes on love
Only when I am witness to your magnificence
Can I believe you're with me,
I turn to face you
Drink on the only beauty that'll quench my thirst
Every inch of you is perfect
Every inch is mine
Hair so dark and soft it is like the clouds of evening themselves
Eyes greyer than the sky before a thunder storm
Filled with passion and love not of this Earth
Feature as if all the artists in the world had carved them from the purest marble
And a mouth
Harbour of desire, gateway to physicality, minister to my sensual needs
Two glossy scarlet fruits,
Redder than cherries, redder than blood
Hungry, willing, gentle
Two curious explorers ready to stake their claim on me
To call ownership to the lake of my mouth
The mountains of my breasts
And dare I hope for it
Voyage expertly through the darkest jungle of my damp womanhood
Until their pilgrimage reaches it destination
At the small round trembling shrine
The pinnacle of my sexuality
You cannot know what it is like
A maiden, still in her prime
Who's basic female wants have been ignored
A woman seen as a child by men
Trapped in a frustrating, repulsive body
A creature seen without sex or desire
Waiting for this
For love
But not now, not here
I do not wish to soil our sacred retreat
For now you are here
To fulfil my dreams
Physical, emotional
Hold me close and
Kiss me
Realise me
Let me be the woman I long to be
The one reflected with love in those grey pools of your soul
Beautiful, graceful, sensual
This time, this place is ours alone
No-one can destroy our fortress of love
My fear and woes are ebbing away
Scared off by your caress and sweet voice
I am loved
I am beautiful
Not a monster
I need this
It is what I live for
Away from a misunderstanding life
With the man who has stolen my soul
We lay together under the stars
Forever devoted, forever safe
But the sun must rise
With its warmth comes the coldness of separation
I am waking
And when I do you shall be gone
Please never leave me
I cannot face a day in that dull world
As that ugly creature
Let there be eternal dusk
Neverending slumber
So that we will always be together without boarders
But that can't be
Slowly you return to your smoky dream-like world
That I cannot enter
Your hard physique disappears
Eyes melt
Lips I worship so dearly evaporate
I am awake
Alone
Night be swift of coming
Day speed by
Bring back the one who knows my true self
And loves me
