To He Who Dreams

I will
I will
Hover over you
Touching the tips of my toes,
Lightly,
To your slumbering form,
Long and slender
As it lays,
Cloistered in moonbeams,
Subdued in cascading sheets,
Entwined in the night's charms.

I will
I will
Float above your loveliness,
Descend
Into
Your
Dreams,
Interweave my embrace
Into your soul,
Sink my affection
Into your idyllic rest.

I will
I will
Submerge myself into your bones---
Be to you the dark's enchantment,
Be to you the night's fulfillment,
And stay with you
As cold beads break from your waking skin
Like the morning dew.

Every time I read one of your pieces, I say "whoa". I love the references to human anatomy - semi-clinical, but not detached in the least. "cloistered in moonbeams" is a great line and image. I'd say more, but the only other thing I can think of is another "whoa". T.

Well done

I really liked the "I will" refrain, quite unusual and captivating. "Cloistered in moonbeams" was a lovely line. I thought the poem was ever-so-slightly OTT in places. Every time I come to your work I realise how much I like your style. Good atmosphere.
