"When All the World's Asleep"--tonight's poem from the open mic...

When all the world’s asleep
And you are peacefully dreaming
Then
I will come out of the dark

I will entwine myself around you
I will touch you everywhere

Then you will know me
And what brings me there

My immortal soul will join yours
My smile will shine through your life
My kisses will set you on fire
My kisses on your wide, generous mouth

You will know my sweet, sweet loving
As the night rolls away from us

By the time the dawn lights your window
You will have answers to the questions
You did not know
You had.

For you will love me forever
As I come
Out of the dark

2. My dear NYC_SKP...

Thanks, sweetie!

One of these days, I'll read it to you, OK?

This one has been percolating for some time...

3. For some reason

The word rapture is evoked in reading your poem..
Thank you for your generosity.:hug:

4. My dear seaker...

Hmmm...rapture. I'm glad it evokes that word for you!

And you know, I have to write these babies down. If I don't, they drive me crazy, and I'm already crazy enough...

So, I'm not really being generous. I'm just trying to save my mind...

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

10. Ah, yes ...

Sensuous and scrumptious!

(The only problem with your poetry of late is that after I finish reading it, I have an irresistible urge to smoke a cigarette!)
