Morphean Whims
You amend dreams like warm blooms do to May,
Or as a fervent breeze treats a cold bed
After a merry dancing of the drapes.
Thereupon like an odalisque you lay
With eyes of intent that can't be misread;
A goddess demanding her plucked grapes!
Your contours, honeyed by your heat,
Have the bright amber nebulosity
Such as seen on halos and angel wings.
It seems my eyes with each other compete
To scan you with accruing ferocity!
From your tresses to toes my frenzied gaze clings!
Then suddenly we're a tangle of limbs
And I cannot be among you too much!
Well...that's how the dream goes up until dawn...
When Aurora spoils our Morphean whims!
She interferes with your finishing touch
By providing instead...an awakening yawn!
I wish just once she might let us conclude...
I'd hate to think that Aurora's a prude!

If 'the sunrise' doesn't interfere lol

Inspired by all the sultry dreams my wife has used over the years to ensorcell my caveman loins.

And so much more, like so many lovely ladies! I can see why Captain Kirk has such a tough time sticking to just one planet.

Oh for sure. The 1960's were a whole lot of auspicious in one place. At least enough to get a few of us to the moon!

Aabso-blooming-lutely. Every now and again i revisit that place if only to hear captain Kirk's

Such a dream like moment, then the 2nd to last stanza pulls me back into the bright, harsh world. I enjoyed reading this.

I'm glad you liked it, and I have to say I really like the rhyme play you've got going on in ASYMMETRICAL.

I found this quite a demanding read but enjoyed the verses all the same

I have faith in few things, but I believe that you can handle anything demanding.

Ooh la la!
I wouldn't much like Aurora pulling me away from these moments either.
