You Dream

Yesterday you whispered in my ear

amidst falling fragile autumn fire leaves

And laughed with your head on my shoulder

Dancing on smooth blades of grass

Your feet light as the air that left my lips

to the gathering breath in your bosom

tasting you gently in ways that made you smile

and your tongue's soft caress hid

in the touch of your fingers

I smelt your hair and in it

lay the fragrance of the soil

which flowers penetrate

to nestle themselves under the sun's warmth

Your sweat and your tears

In which I glided like a sea turtle

paddling to the safety of your arms

and the familiar island of your body

Your skin soft and smooth against mine

Embraced so that I could hide within you

And there I stayed

till the last star's arc was complete across the sky

and lost unto the final hour
You left while I slept

Wond'ring aloud today

I will reveal that you have

lived only in my senses for such moments

That the earth may never know.
