Drawn Only to You

Free-Verse Poetry

There have been nights when
Upon waking
I wished I had not
Dreams to which waking life
Has felt not but a fevered segue
And I have often cursed the hours for passing so quickly between the time I close my eyes and the moment they next open
But these days
I wake to find you in my arms
Or sleeping softly beside me
And I am content
Lightly kissing your silky hair
Or gently caressing the smooth surface of your skin
Uncaring of whether I return to whatever fantasy from which I have been summoned
Drawn only to you
Satisfied
That you are near.

    1. Hello friend. Just a suggestion: there is a sort of balance here, where, as a community, we view and like each other’s posts to support one another and because we enjoy reading what others have to write. I understand where you are coming from, so I will just say that it is generally best to be patient and involved and others will happily appreciate your work. šŸ™‚

    1. Thank you. Sleep does tend to go by far too quickly… Though fortunately, I am finding joy and peace in the waking world as opposed to living for my dreams. šŸ™‚
