Array ( [sid] => 41531 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => While I Sleep Tonight [time] => 2004-04-02 21:40:54 [hometext] => The inspiration for this poem came to me when I was staying at the home of an old lover. its about love lost and regained. My first Post! [bodytext] =>



While I sleep tonight,
Wrapped in your sweet embrace
My thoughts escape into the night,
And set their own sure pace.

Along Midnight’s path they roll and turn,
Gliding the skies in sleep’s dark light
But in desire’s release for you I yearn,
While I dream tonight.

Yet still I stir in slumber’s keep
Holding memories to my chest
Weeping for dreams that took to flight,
And those that failed the test.

Dreaming of faltered starts,
Two partnered souls in love’s sweet plight
Yearning grown in dormant hearts,
Is the rose that blooms at night.

Now lying warm from your caress,
Satisfied with joy replete
I turn to you and love confess,
But you are deep in sleep.

If dark grace is near at hand,
Then share the long kiss goodnight
And pipe our souls to that far land,
While we sleep tonight. [comments] => 11 [counter] => 347 [topic] => 2 [informant] => spike [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 55 [ratings] => 11 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
While I Sleep Tonight

While I sleep tonight,
Wrapped in your sweet embrace
My thoughts escape into the night,
And set their own sure pace.

Along Midnight’s path they roll and turn,
Gliding the skies in sleep’s dark light
But in desire’s release for you I yearn,
While I dream tonight.

Yet still I stir in slumber’s keep
Holding memories to my chest
Weeping for dreams that took to flight,
And those that failed the test.

Dreaming of faltered starts,
Two partnered souls in love’s sweet plight
Yearning grown in dormant hearts,
Is the rose that blooms at night.

Now lying warm from your caress,
Satisfied with joy replete
I turn to you and love confess,
But you are deep in sleep.

If dark grace is near at hand,
Then share the long kiss goodnight
And pipe our souls to that far land,
While we sleep tonight.

Spike, this was heartstirring. It set's the emotions
to fly. These two lines were especially brilliant.
"Yearning grown in dormant hearts,
Is the rose that blooms at night."
Like in one of your other poems I read, it feels as
if you are right inside my head, pulling pieces of my
life out and putting them to verse. And what a delightful
and entertaining way at that! This was an enjoyable
read, spike. Very much so.

I've been clickin' my reads off from most recent to oldest posts and got the urge to see your first post. You were brilliant from the start! Two years of blessing folks on this site with a level we all strive for ... but we can't all be SUPERB. Thank you for the blessings!
