Thats right, I took it!
Take it back if you want to,
I'll wait as you try.
If I could reach you one more time,
I'd tell you all is forgiven.

If I could see you one more time,
Your beauty would not be lost on me.

If I could hold you one more time,
I'd never let go.

If I could love you one more time,
Our flame would never go out.

If I could trust you one more time,
My frozen heart would melt.

If only I could...
Must I lay and wait here scheming,
While the world can drift off dreaming,
Of days filled with love and feeling.
I just glare up at the ceiling.

How I wish I could be sleeping,  
The clock ticks on, still time keeping.
Cars outside, horns are beeping,
Exasperated, almost weeping.

All the helplessness I'm feeling,
Devoid of reason and of meaning.
Oh I'd find it so appealing,
If I could just lay here dreaming.
The storm rages on,
an endless cycle.
Territory won and lost daily,
doomed to repeat.

Relentless waves of attack,
pounding upon steadfast walls
lined with tiny timbers,
encrusted in golden pebble-dash,  
the armour of Poseidon's minions
on display as grim defiance.

The tides of battle turn constantly,
but with each assault the fortress falters.
Foamy charges batter and breach,
tearing down the walls,
melting into nothing.

With just sand, sticks and shells left,
strewn over the battlefield,
the war is over...
Until, the next summer's day

Just woke up now
My eyes still puffy
Can't believe this lovely dream
I had of being with you.

I dreamt I took a plane to you
And stole into your house
Crept around in search of you
But heard voices, hid beneath a bed!

Then some granny came into that room
Shuffling in and mumbling low
She lay down on that bed and tried
To wrestle comfort from sagging mattress.

Her nagging complaints drew them all
While I froze in fear, yet so alive
I shut my eyes and waited bated breath
While they tended to the dame.

Then you leaned down and saw me there
I turned, you looked right into frighted deer eyes
You ensconced the granny to another room
All left the room, turned out the lights.

Then fifty minutes later, when all asleep
I felt you pulling out me
All stiff by now, we rubbed a bit abed
And settled into shy embrace.

You kissed my eyes by sullen moon
Raking crescent fingernails over me
Barely hold the delight; no more
Dazzling slivers of light dance in your eyes.

But with time not on our side
We subtly reach that exquisite point
Where I hover twixt your crux
I wait and wait, then gently ****** ....

I yearn for you to move with me, oh!
And when you do, you writhe and twist
Then delicious thrills outwit in surprising bend
As you . . .

(.......)


(Daddy, daddy, please I want some ice-cream!)




Ohhhhh, crap!
This sure is one bedazzled catnap I did not want hijacked.

Based on an actual dream, which is true
Except for the parts which are not! :)
I've fought so hard for this
So stand your ground
I've tried too long to throw this all away.

One year.
One year ago I scrawled those lines
With cheeks so wet
Jaw clenched tighter than my fist.

Someone else’s home
Someone else’s lives
On top of ours.
We packed up and left that place
The hardest thing I've ever done.
Admit defeat.
Take a memory,
Put it in a box.
Repeat.
One year ago I really did write just those first three lines, sat and stared at them unable to write any more. A lot can happen in a year.
Somewhere between the dust and the stars,
this is where we lie. Motionless.        
                                          Humbled.

I know. That when I pass on from this world
There will be no new books penned
no films that tell my tale
no newspaper headline.
                                   I am.
Unremarkable.

                                               If I'm lucky.
Maybe a handful of people will shed tears.
Maybe a single heart will
                                   break.
Maybe I'll have flowers placed at my headstone
                                    yearly.
Maybe Her voice will speak my name.
Maybe.
                                               If I'm lucky.
