What should we dream of?

by Jenni   Sep 21, 2011


Can you hear that?
The world is slowly waking up,
but I'd prefer to relish the moment
while we still can. Just stay in bed
a little longer and warp your cuddly arms
around my dizzy self.

Please hold on; don't arouse me.
I used to be filled with hope, but
what should we dream of
when we've got it all already?

Let me taste your delightful
affection, allure me with it
like you used to
because I'm afraid.
Afraid of waking up - next
to you - or someone else,
rather than in your arms.

It's keeping me up at night
because I realize that
I prefer dreams;
You then return my love.

What should we dream of?
What can we believe in
while we're like this?
We carry through the night,
unaware of whose hands
we'll be holding next. Not
satisfied by being with always
changing lovers, we never expected
to leave...

I'm drowsy
not because of being sleepy,
but your kiss intoxicates me
and we decide to dream together
at least once more.

What should we dream of
and where do we feel home?

    I think that you meant "wrap" instead of "warp" here because warp is kinda like going warp speed into space stuff. Yeah, I just made a lame joke... anyway..

    I just thought I'd help you out with that. Other than that another poem beautifully penned by you. :D

    I think that this particular poem proved itself. I have been reading your poems, trying to find which ones I adore most to comment apon, and this one stopped me in my tracks. I think that this is more than just a poem, its an actual feeling. Something I see lacking in other poems, I see in this one. Wow Jenni, I have to say you suprice me more and more with each poem I read by you.

    I loved this poem! Amazingly written, I especially like the fourth stanza, since it is so familiar to me.

    "It's keeping me up at night
    because I realize that
    I prefer dreams;
    You then return my love."
