[hometext] => This is a Sestina that I wrote this past year as part of my portfolio work. It's been a long while since I've posted here and I wanted to post something that was actually good. I hope you like what you read.
[bodytext] => i like to watch you when you sleep. the slight shudder when you take breath, a twitch that shows me that you dream. no thoughts in my mind save one, that you're with me this night. the feeling lasts forever. it's a long time, forever. a long wave of sleep as smooth-flowing as day becoming night, mustily clinging to our breath as ideas grow solid one by one, the mortar to build the dream. it's obvious we're in the dream; it goes on forever, and it's seldom the one you wanted when you went to sleep, but with each passing breath sinking deeper into the warm, inviting night. but it ends when night abates, shattering the fragile dream, leaving you short of breath, as if you wanted to stay there forever. no more time for sleep. no dreams until the next one. sliding through each moment one by one, remembering the melody of the night, leaving all thoughts of sleep wafting away as if a dream, forever, as the day passes with each breath. eventually they slow, each breath deeper than the one that came before. the moment lasts forever, becoming one with the night you conjured the dream, the magic of sleep. i breathe you deeply, this night and forever, hoping to catch a glimpse of the dream we lived as i watched you sleep.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
