Where do Dreams Go

Neville

Where do Dreams Go

 

He dreams

yes he dreams 

of sage and of leather 

 

Of her image

reflected in mirrors 

and in the fire of cabochons

 

He dreams

yes he dreams

of floating and flying with her

 

Somewhere lost

without wanting, or wishing

to be found, until they are dust

 

He dreams

yes he dreams

of the things they might do together

 

In the snatches

of time made in moments

they allow to quietly break through

 

He dreams

yes he dreams

of bergamot, sage and of leather

 

While tenderly stroking

a breast with a feather and milking

the juice of yet another new day with her

 

He dreams

yes he dreams,

but where do those dreams go

 

Maybe lost in the ether,

mid vastness of quilt perhaps, or

buried neath mountainous pillows of snow ..

  • Fay Slimm.

    Sensually potent this verse on what memory dreams before it melts into ether - - you nailed the longing real well here Nev..................x

    • Neville



      ............................. Bless you Fay.. I really can't thank you enough my friend ... x

    • L. B. Mek

      or maybe, just maybe if hindsight were to arrive early - for once, he would realise: those dreams are being realised, in each breath of flicked feather and her sultry shudder of pleasure, at his every whisper of surrender...
      sorry my friend your words jolted my keyboard into life and I found myself scribbling away - yet again, I have lost count at the amount of times your writes have inspired instantaneous flow of unfiltered rhymes from me... what a gift you wield!
      brilliant pacing in your wonderfully immersive lines this write

      • Neville



        that is hellishly kind of you my friend and an even bigger honour you have bestowed upon me and my pen ... we are both grateful.........

      • orchidee

        Yes, I should get out more, I really should, cos it's all dreams to me too! Leather? Swoon! lol.

        • Neville



          Yes, leather.. dont ya just love the smell of it.... it has to be up there with patchouli, sage, orange blossom, Play-Doh, King Edward cigars, fresh mown grass and bread from the oven ...... Maybe you do need to get out more ..... Cheers Orchidee

          ... Neville

          • orchidee

            Urgh, not the cigars. They make me feel ill. All else - yes!

          • Lorna

            Everything seems to real and here and suddenly it's gone...... I loved

            Somewhere lost
            without wanting, or wishing
            to be found, until they are dust

            • Neville



              ................................................. am in need of thanking you kindly and true dear Lorna

                Those dreams will always be there and even if they are buried in the snow, snow melts and those dreams will rise once more.

                Andy

                • Neville



                  Your visits invariably bring a smile to my face Andy my friend, how I wish there was a whole flock of ya ...

                  ... Neville
