you enter our
bed whisper-light
and mold yourself
to my back
in half sleep
i toy with
your arm hair
and nestle into
my haven
the nexus between
dreams and reality
with you is so blurred
that i no longer
ruminate over
such petty details
for you are
all of my dreams

Is it okay to think "Aww, that's so sweet" about the ending? Hope so, because I just did.

It’s ok, but don’t make it a habit!
Kidding.
Thanks Pink. Some days I like to burn shit down, and scream, and stab, and throw furniture. Some days I like to cuddle.
Balance! 😁

Holy balls! Pinky promise?! That’s a sacred oath that can only be broken with a triple-dog-dare!

Girl, you got my heart tingling in that bittersweet this can’t be reality way.
I love the soft underbelly of your pain. Your eloquence with words is stunning even though your heart is breaking.
Sometimes we do our best work then and I’m not even talking about writing.
Keep doing you.

I can feel those butterflies in the belly, as this wonderfully soul baring minimalism says so very much... an admission of gorgeous vulnerability which in my view, is so tremendously romantic...
You say balance, I say bravery.
It's a true teaching moment for me in addition to a lovely sigh worthy beaut of a poem. I know that personally, I hold back and find it harder to be so acutely vulnerable on the page. So seeing it done so so well, really makes such an impact, which is why I said 'brave'... I deeply applaud and covet that willingness and strength.
Beautifully inked.

Hello, Betty
This is a beautifully romantic piece. "mold yourself to my back," and "nestle into my haven" are wonderfully intimate, sensual passages.

Dear B,
I, too, have had feelings and experiences like this. Of course, it was long ago and far away but this brings back some fond memories. This is a really lovely and loving write. Not only for that certain someone but more for yourself and that is very fulfilling. And yes, I’ll keep the secret of your softer side when it shows its beautiful head. Beautiful write. H 🌷

Thank you Hon.
I feel like I’m on one of those fair rides where you swing in a Viking boat from one side to the next, and your stomach drops in each descent. I think that’s the best part. The moment you’re hanging at the top, and you feel weightless for a moment before you fall.

Your gentle side glows here like two people in love on a night when the touch of passion and the caress of love make for a heady romance.

Yeah, there’s just something about romance that I like to roll around in once in a while. Or all of the time
I’m beginning to fear I may secretly be a romantic.
Ew!
Lol, thanks John.

These are the words you use to send a man to balance the world on the tip of his nose....
This is how it feels to be brought in....intimacy is love's fight song.

You write like a dream.,too. At this rate, "c" will never wake up!
This is such a languishing type write. So easy to settle down beside and just appreciate the simple affection that it shows. What a great thing to read.

Thanks lovely.
I had knee surgery last week. Than an allergic reaction to some shit.. Than an infection.
It’s fine… but I did I have a day I made my best friend promise to delete my email and browser history. 🤣
I appreciate you.
