I was carried into sleep,
Like a ship rocked by waves,
Ebbing and flowing, drifting me,
Further and further from the harbor of safety.

It was my maiden voyage,
A daring feat,
An adventure to find out
If the ocean of my mind was flat.

Winds of change blew my vessel,
And I lost control,
Tumbling through the seas of memory,
Finally capsized by waves of regret.

Washed up, stranded, broken,
But I could not find fear,
I could not find despair,
Instead I found you.

Your hair was a bouquet,
Drawing me closer with each fragrance,
Your smile, a mouthful of stars,
Pulling me into overwhelming light.

Your eyes were like big warm rooms,
Inviting my gaze to linger in them,
Until I slipped, tumbling head over heels,
Falling immediately back in love with you.

I brought you into my arms,
And collapsing into bliss,
I silently hoped that the world would end,
So you could never leave me again.

My fingertips danced across your body,
Reminding themselves of the slopes and curves,
As clumsy kisses parachuted softly down,
Landing perfectly on your waiting lips.

I listened to you breathe like poetry,
I watched your eyes engulf me,
I felt your hands surround me,
I tasted the sweetness of the moment….

…then I woke up, alone.
