Sleepy Dreams Fade

WL Schuett

window shades half open 

a warm salty breeze 

soft conversations 

drift up from the street 

 

smoke from a candle 

feather pillows 

and lace 

 

spiced wine  red apples

cool satin sheets 

 

the touch of lace on 

sweet hidden delights 

 

deep velvet music 

soft , soulful and blue 

cool beads of sweat 

like mornings first dew 

 

sleepy dreams fade 

from a deep sated sleep 

 

as morning creeps in 

through the window 

like a thief

    Beautiful writing, WL. What comes to my mind with the poem and the painting is a summer morning in the Mediterranean, or maybe South of France. I think it is the painting that prompted the location choice.
    I really do like this poem!

    • WL Schuett

      Thanks Fred I like the idea of a Mediterranean or southern France location makes this seem more exotic

      WL, you paint a pretty picture with your words and paint. ; )

    • myself and me

      "as morning creeps in
      through the window
      like a thief "
      And the thief steal the dream.

      Love the color in the paint.
      A beautiful poem to enjoy.

      • WL Schuett

        They were made for each other - such a great write and love the way you have painted just a portion - almost abstract.
