Awake

sylviasearcher



I see your nightmares 

As you hide beneath the blankets

Half sleeping, half stirring, a quarter dead

I see the other sixteenth dreaming

Of all the words unsaid

I step inside your dreams

And dance away the dread

 

I see your eyes are opening

To your choice of dark or light

Unfettered love and fury

Disturb your slumber day and night

 

I see your aching heart

As I run my fingers down your 

back

Half sleeping, half stirring, a quarter warming up

I see the other sixteenth almost smiling

As your mouth I interrupt

I hold my lips right there

As warm kisses the dark corrupt

 

I see your eyes are opening

To your choice of dark or light

Unfettered love and fury

Disturb your slumber day and night

 

I taste your salty tears

I feel your drumming heart

Wrap me up inside you

Inside me so Spring can start 

 

Taste my untouched flesh

As your eyes penetrate my soul

Let your body linger

Let this moment hearts console 

 

Move me like your poetry

Until I'm weak with breathless ecstasy

Ponder with precision every part of me

Let out, let go, exhale and be

Crashing forth forever Endlessly

Inside you inside of me

Relentless like the wildest Sea

Your raging ocean home with me

 

I see your eyes are opening

To your choice of dark or light

Unfettered love and fury

Disturb your slumber day and night

I am here forever waiting 

To bring you back to life

    I've read some poems on here this morning and found the standard quite outstanding. This is one of them. It owns a purity of such deepened and relentlessly opens up a new perception of what poetry can do. To me, this is hitting pretty high towards the top noted. Stunningly written. I think I need to step up a touch or two.

      Thank you for reading and your kind words.

      I am always in doubt of whether I can even call what I write poems.

      The topic of this one was also one I usually cannot usually genuinely free myself into.

      Thanks for reading and your kind comments

        Your welcome but, please allow those thoughts to disappear into thin air. First of all, allow you to allow your doubts to not let any doubt to get in the way. Sounds complicated, but it's quite simple really. All you have to do is write something then the doubt will clear the clouds of confusion revealing such beautiful landscapes so intrinsically placed in your thoughts. How can anyone doubt that? And ther're yours to keep.

        This is an outstanding piece of poetry!! I agree with Kevin that the calibur of this piece is top notch! I rarely save favorites, but this is one of them. Great job!

        • sylviasearcher

          Thank you Christina. It is so uplifting when people take the time to read something I have written and to let me know it was worthy of their time.

          Well it's definitely poetry, and good! Does not have to rhyme. Though I'm fussing about rhyming, syllables, etc, but necessary for some of my semi-formal stuff!

          • sylviasearcher

            I thought it did rhyme, lol...

            Sure there's a compliment hidden in there somewhere.

            I struggle to be bound by parameters when the words spill out from my messy heart.

            Thanks for reading my messy offering! 🙃

            Oops yes, does rhyme! lol. Sorry!
            Sometimes I don't spot the rhymes, if they are not immediately in the next line of the poem, such as …..cat, then the next line......mat.

            • sylviasearcher

              Oh I hardly ever use aa bb cc.

              Sorry I made you read it twice!

              Extremely romantic poem that clearly shows your depth of feeling and the images presented in your write. I don't doubt the words you submitted are considered poems. Do not doubt yourself and keep up with your writing. We enjoy it! 🙂

              Move me like your poetry
              Until I'm weak with breathless ecstasy

              I really must remember these lines for when I'm standing at a bar behind someone I feel drawn to... there are other line here too but that would be telling.. and of course, a gentleman never tells... N

              • sylviasearcher
