Lay With Me June 14, 2011

I knock on the door
“Come in,” I hear said,
I walk into your house
See you laying in bed.

 

“Hi,” I whisper
“Hello,” you return,
“Come here,” you request
Oh how I want, oh how I yearn.

 

Here, I lay in your arms
Allowing your warmth to become my own,
You wink at me, a smile escapes
When I am with you I never feel alone.

 

As I snuggle my face
Deep into your chest,
Your sweetness smothers
Becomes my breath.

 

Feeling this moment
As if it were true,
I close my eyes
Find my self in you.

 

Hold me close
So close, so tight,
Here, laying together
We watch day become night.

 

I must never fall asleep
Or lose the feel of your touch,
For when I wake in the morning
All that remains will be dust.

 

For now I’ll stay here
Laying next to you in bed,
If I can’t have you with me
We’ll be together in my head.

Within The REM May 6, 2011

Living in my dreams
a more comfortable reality as of late
I reunited with my relatives.

All of them
taller, larger than I
stood over me with
protection and care.

As I hugged each one
I felt…
at home.

I reconnected with
my childhood
the loving relationships
I so deeply missed.

Tears fell into
puddles at our bare feet
whilst we embraced
spirits flowed freely from
one body into the next
sharing our souls with
peace and ease.

I climbed into their arms
we exchanged blinding
apologies and well-wishes
nothing was comforting
all was overwhelming.

Each tear
tore into the earth with
vengeance
guilt
regret.

The warmth of their bodies
told me the truth.

I awoke feeling calm
yet uneasy and
still empty.

Oh peaceful sleep,
why have you left me…
