Desert Dream

Awakened of a reason
I cannot identify.
Adrenaline is released
But not your hold of my thoughts.

Dizzied of heart, still clouded with dream
Twisting to even try.
Scorn, yet reaching again
I wince to the stretch of taut skin.

I reach to you, physically inept.
Here, somehow we may connect.
Surrender to sleep tonight
and regard to the light on the 'morrow; nothing yet lost.

You stir warmly, as a cool jeweled moon in a desert sky.
reflects the salt, dry on lush lips.
Disappearing again as your inviting dark curls slide, caressing your cheek.
Smiling, as your dream has enraptured you; as I envy to.

I will walk with you tonight, in the solitude of your dreams.
O peace, O rest; may you find it tonight.
Yet to awaken and feel the warmth of your touch would be the dream to me.
