Only Dreaming

A lovely sleep
we make love all over again
But no wake up call, no morning kiss
My sweet darling

You were not in bed
you would be downstairs
making breakfast
I waited
But you never came upstairs
to give me my wake up call
A gentle kiss, a sensual stroke
we would make love, endlessly

I would hold you
stroke you to sleep
watch you sleep
be there when you wake up
you said " I am so glad your are here"

I would just hold you
until you were ready
to let go

I will always be there
to keep the bad dreams away
I will keep you safe
until the morning light

No more darkness
the way I will light
I am your angel
of the morning, noon and night

your true love

Angel of light

This is such a beautiful and moving tribute Maggie. I have absolutely no idea what he could have been thinking of to do what he did when he had such love. Many have spent a life time searching in vain for a love like this. Keith

Hi Keith yes , Mike would always doubt himself and ask me often "why am i here with him when i could have any man i wanted" my reply "because it is you i love, why should i look elsewhere" of course he would show his love often we had something very special

Touching poem

of love lost. Very touching. A few spelling errors to clean up is all I suggest. Thanks for sharing. Tom
