SWEET DREAMS

Author: Miriam M. Wynn

Am lying here dreaming, 
Closed eyes and bated breath; 
Your scent all over me, 
Feels like a smoke ring . . . 

Untouchable, unattainable, 
Uncatcheable; 
In your arms I am nothing and everything . . . 
Will you kiss me? 

Like this, 
I fall, 
Tears dripping from helpless lashes 
That rise and fall like 
Hunting lips, 
Wide open to reveal my eyes; 
Like the searching tongue that caresses 
And pursues, 
My open, seeking eyes are revealing you. 

And if you will only understand me, 
Believe me when I promise you I am 
Not going to destroy you, 
Not going to break you . . . 
We shall fly untouched, unbreakable, 
Undeniable . . . 

Be not afraid when I kiss you, 
Do not fear that I shall hurt you, 
But, more truthfully, 
Do not fear the pain, 
For pain in love between two hearts 
Is what makes love far more exquisite 
Than lust or temporary need . . . 

And I need you, 
But like oxygen, 
Pure and clear, 
You grant me light, 
You give me crystalline enjoyment of the world, 
And when I fall to you, 
I am deified . . . 

So, shall I be a goddess for you, 
Shall I be a fantasy? 
Shall I make your dreams  come true, 
Shall I be your queen? 

Sweet dreams, my love; 
Mmm, feel my lips cross your brow, 
So gentle, the touch love; 
Do trust me, my darling . . . 

Sweet dreams . . . 
And I shall grant them to you, 
Shall bless you with ecstasy 
In me, in us: 

Like this, pure love . . . 
Sweet dreams . . .
