She comes to him
In his dreams now…
Ethereal, waiflike
A warm sensation
Almost real and yet intangible
As she kisses his lips
Her long tresses
Cascade over his
Slumbering self
He breathes in her
Familiar scent,
Remembering those times
When he would
Soak his face in them
He responds to her lips
With every fiber of his
Body tingling…
Drinking in the sweet
Nectar of her mouth
The thought crosses
His mind again…
No woman kisses him
Like she does
She whispers in his ears
Her warm breath
Fanning his neck
He groans with
Unleashed pleasure
Remembering those moments
When she would
Tease him…
Her tongue exploring him
Arousing in him passions
Alien to him.
He wants her
Body and soul
And she surrenders
To his hungry desire.
As their limbs
Seek one another
He knows he would always
Belong in the arms of this
Illusive creature
They dance in unison
To the rhythm of their love
As one
All senses alive
They reach their crescendo…
He wakes in sweat
His heart still beating
He reaches out for her
She is gone…
She was only a dream
Leaving an emptiness
In his heart, his life.
With a long sigh
He turns on his side
And watches his woman
Sleep in his bed, by his side
This is his truth…
While she visits him only
In his dreams now…
