dancing

 you reach deeper into the night than i,

your mind finding quiet ways

to amuse itself with my sleeping hands

as your gentle eyes

cover me like a soft blanket.

 

yet even as i sleep i dream we are dancing,

slow and close, our bellies barely brushing.

and each day i awaken to a greater understanding

of why the sun rises.

circles across the sky

 

if time were a place

i would meet you there.

I love you farther than my arms can reach,

my head resting

on your soft breast rising, falling,

your hand absently tracing

circles across the sky.

let my words kiss you then

and there.

saying goodbye

 

it was cloudy when you said ‘goodbye’

and i replied ‘until next time…'

i slept for awhile but the dreams persisted.

how many days until tomorrow?

i use to believe that the big dreams were the best.

now i know that the best dreams

were the ones we shared.

how many days until tomorrow?
