The Dream

As i drift off i find myself
Somewhere between Past,Present and Future
The thought of intimacy drifts into my soul

That smell
Your smell
The smell
Brings my dream alive
Touches my soul
Livens up my sensors

The curves of your body
The silkiness of you skin
Your slender neck
The plumpness of you breasts

I want to rush
To taste your moist lips on mine
Feel your golden hair drift across my face
Your gentle touch
Your body against mine

As i lay you down
Encapsulating your body in mine
Wrapping you up in my cocoon
Not wanting things to change

The touch as my hand rolls across your thigh
Pressing your body close to mine
Relishing my inhibitions
Making love to a goddess

As night changes into day
As your breath slowly fades
I grasp for one last kiss
That faded touch
That final smile

Knowing that tow can never be one
That one day you may emerge like a butterfly
and never return

Knight (white Knight)
