In the swallow of sleep from the belly of my dreams you appear wordlessly just out of reach beckoning me closer to taste your vision Dancing round my fire I can not escape the distance of its light and warmth to reach you I show you sultry seduction come ons All but beg Come to me Come to me From your enticing position flipping a coin with a wink you take my face in your magic hands and ever so slowly kiss me awake in a sweat |

Whoa! Whadda dream. Don't you just hate it when you have to wake up clutching the pillow instead of . . . In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. |

I was captivated by your opening line (especially your use of the word 'swallow'), but it was your closing that made me stop and want to re-read it as soon as possible (and made me blush a little, too.) |
