i slowed myself down
to feel the trickle of you
beside my sleep
as five a.m. came and went
and when i mentioned my dream
your fingers floated in my hair
until i lost you again
a shiver in the morning

Oh, I love this Audrey. The words, of course, are dreamy. But it is so romantic and loving. Beautiful . . . sigh.

Deleteoh nice...that faint hint of them...fleeting...disappearing as we wake...can feel so empty in the after....
ReplyDeleteI love that moment when it comes Brian!
DeleteDid you get that? I don't see it. Sigh! Well, beautiful as always....I shivered. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bill--about half way through your book--I love when summer reading hits!
DeleteOh wow! Love what you did with this, Audrey. Those illusive dreams we have, wanting to hold on to what we can't keep.
ReplyDeleteThanks Victoria!

ReplyDeleteThat separation anxiety is a two way street; plenty of men who did not stay the night fell asleep with their senses rekindled by the smell of your hair on their fingers, & the feel of your skin imprinted in the middle of their chest.
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely!! close to the heart.
