You are in my
dreams
I am in seventh
heaven
For I breathe you
in
I lay by your
side
My fingers touch
your soft skin
You turn and come
close
Those old times
return
As in passionate
embrace
We kiss savagely
I melt into you
And capture every
sigh
For my memory
Those electric
dreams
Find me alone by
morning
Now I’m cold
inside
But were you not
here
Are they your
tears on the sheets
Or mine once
again?

Love loss is something that can be hard to deal with, but poetry certainly is a great way to let out all the pain. Emotion is really important in writing poetry.
ReplyDeleteLove can be a painful experience......
ReplyDeleteLost love does hurt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by. The seventh layer was Dante's vision. I just compacted it.
Love that final stanza which makes sense of the sweet and savage memory/dream/reality as "real" time continues to move forward. Achingly beautiful 7th heaven.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness there are dreams sometime to take one back to the 'seventh heaven' once known. Even though in the morning one is alone, one knows the dreams will return again.
ReplyDeleteThe joy of seventh heaven recaptured - the pain of awakening. But, my friend, that heaven was yours for many years.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet until the end. Then so poignant. Great as always.
ReplyDeleteThose kinds of dreams are as much curse as blessing, I think.
ReplyDeleteOh, Robin, the ache of lost love. The tears on the pillow... and the sweet memory recaptured in the lucky dream. I am so touched by this. Very bittersweet and lovely. Amy
ReplyDeleteOh, the last part welled up my eyes. Beautiful poem. Touched...
ReplyDeleteI love the intensity and passion of this.
ReplyDeleteLoss of a loved on is a hard loss to bear. But our memories keep them alive. Loved the simplicity of the poem.
