Sweet Dreams
You rise out of sleep
Like a growing thing
Rises out of the garden soil
Two leaves part to be your mouth
Two tender seed leaves
And your eyes are wonderfully star like
Your eyes are luminous
And soft as the velvet of pansies
Darling, good morning
Our arms are empty of each other
For a moment only
How beautifully you turn
Your mouth tilts
To let my kisses in
Lie still…
We shall be longer
We need so little room
We two…
Thus on a single pillow
As we move nearer
Nearer heaven
Until I burst inside you
Like a screaming rocket
Then we are quietly apart…
Returning to this earth
Your eyes never opened
After the last kiss
We had loved hard
It’s all over your throat
And hair
It lies on your mouth
Like a wild red flower
It’s on your cheeks and forehead
In waning radiance
The wonderful strength
Of your thighs
Is back to gentle beauty
Your nipples contract…
Gather in like blossoms for the night
Your hand half sleeping finds me…
Your touch is very dear
Your dreams are crystal clear
You dared to dream
And you discovered love
That was always near…
