Description gentle goddess of my dreams
join me once more, love
let us make the poets jealous
and the lovers sigh
as we did once, dearest one

I see you in the doorway of my mind
standing there before me with
that dress upon your frame
smiling upon me; your warmth
radiating into my soul again

my eyes take in such beauty
my mind recalling all of the promises;
all of the words of wrath forged
at the thought of you not with me -
why weren't you with me?

please do not evoke fate
surely we could overcome even
the highest designs of destiny
we never were a slave to the
higher powers forced upon us

I open my mouth to speak these words
but cannot; you know too well
all I've wanted is you with me
that's what this anger tries to say
all I've ever wanted is you

you nod your head and are beside me
once again; I close my eyes
taking in your scent, feeling your
fingertips run through my hair
gentle whisper upon my soul

all you've ever wanted is me
you say, answering the hurt inside
calming the wounded soul with just
those words, such a simple admission
you've dreamed about me the same way

and I smile at the thought of us
in silent affairs, making love through
memories; our souls engaged in
passionate embraces with one another
while the rest of the world sees you and I

and I confess to you, through my lips
that I want you once again, only
this time not just our souls
exchanging vows with one another again
and again; our bodies this time

flesh meeting flesh and soul touching
soul; you smile as you want me too
the touch of your fingers upon my body
is a poem all of its own, it speaks
words that mortals have yet to fashion

and I sing their chorus, their
sweet hosanna without needing to know
the lines verbatim. speaking them
through tender kisses and brushes of my
mouth across your soft, satin skin

making love to you, the fates
themselves have yet to create anything
more satisfying to me as tenderness
gives way to passion and love caves
in to lust with every moment

undressing you with more than my
eyes, with hands parting clothing and
my senses blissfully drifting away
into unexplored worlds of pleasure
as you do the same to me

lying with you; kissing every inch
of skin, I taste it. I confess I am
nothing more than an addict with an
addiction and savor my favorite indulgence
to hear erotic moans through parted lips

two souls become one, join together
within the heat of sweat and longing
while confession takes place between
us; how I've desired you above all things
how much I enjoy the feel of you beneath me

and you who say the same in different
ways, through different means using words
that belong only to the language of lovers
singing scat and crying evocations of faith
and nonsensical prayers toward deities

how I love your song and how satisfying
it becomes when in that moment we share
everything; our years together, our union of
souls and bodies. enjoying the peace of both
passion and stillness, when pleasure wanes

and leaves you and I with each other
how we've wanted it all along, now that
the demands of heaven have been met, our
sacrifice to the gods, placing the world
in balance once again, where it should be

I'll meet you there. every moment of
every day. until you're truly with me
once again, and we have no need for reverie.
gentle goddess of my dreams
join me once more, love

My favorite line of all: "we never were a slave to the
higher powers forced upon us" ... Spoken like a determined, confident, dare I say, arrogant vampire in love?

Determined, confident, arrogant, stubborn, defiant. All apply.
One that rages against the dying of the light, to be certain.

Thank you, dear Rabbit.
Amazing what a universal language longing becomes.

x+y=z. x needs y for z. Without y... x is lost. Just an unknown variable.
I need to dream about y more often. The equation is more complete that way.
