The Dream

 Tonight I lie awake,
The dream too real for comfort,
But yet, at the same time,
I feel that pull in my belly,
The flutter of a speeding heart,
The ebb and flow in other places.
The dream started with me,
At a dance club with no name,
I am wearing very little,
But, somehow it seems okay.
At first I just lose myself,
To the music's heavy seductive beat,
I feel my body twist and dip,
Sinuous, tempestuous, lithe,
In the fluorescent lights of the dance floor,
That's when I see you,
The red making flames of your hair,
The swirling lights making you seem more alive,
I cannot make myself stop dancing,
Like I'm trying to lure you in,
I can see it must be working,
You approach like this was your idea all along,
My heart is thudding like a frightened rabbit's,
It's not fear I feel, but excitement.
My breath seems caught,
But I can breathe,
I'm dizzy like I've been drinking,
My knees are weak, my palms clammy,
But still I dance.
Your eyes are locked on mine,
An inferno blazing in their depths,
You make me feel like I am spinning out of control,
But I like it.
I love how you make me feel,
I can lose control with you,
You'll take it for your own.
You move in close,
Beginning to dance a counterpoint to mine,
We move as one body, one being,
When your hand grazes,
Softly down my cheek,
It burns sweetly,
Sending chills down my entire length,
You lean in, I know what's next,
The kiss that never was.
I nearly faint in anticipation,
Your lips touch mine,
Such a gentle caress,
I hold my breath...and lose it almost immediately.
The kiss is growing deeper, more demanding,
Taking the lead, taking control,
It's so you...I melt completely,
Your hands skim over my shoulders,
And down my sides to my waist,
I feel you grind against me,
My hands are clutching at your shirt,
I'm drinking you in,
Your scent a heady perfume,
I'm drowning in the pulsing desire,
The fire of your eyes,
The silk of your skin,
The scent of your hair,
The taste of your lips,
The hardness of your body,
I wake up, breathing hard,
I sit up, sweat soaking the sheets,
My body is burning,
Unquenched desire,
Blowing through every pore,
I can still feel your lips on mine,
Feel your hands on my body,
I flop back down,
And glare at my ceiling,
Quite put out with the end of my dream,
Then I smile, close my eyes,
And imagine the finale.
