Dreams

 

I felt the warmth of your body

Lying beside me in the darkness

My fingers found the valley of your backbone

And traced its path, like water down a river

"Mmmmm... "  half-asleep, you rolled towards me

I felt the softness of your breast, spread across your ribs

A nipple firm between my finger tips

"Now I'll never get back to sleep" you murmured

In the darkness I could hear your smile

Your lips found mine, touching at first soft as a feather

Then so slowly, warm and deep...

You rolled your body onto mine...

 

Then I awoke

 

Ocean Child (was she jealous?) whispered to me

"Jon, it was only a dream...

She could have come to you, so easily...

But she never will.

She's gone now, happy in another world

Forget her and give yourself to me

I can take you to a magic place

Where there is only sea and wind and sky

With all their many colours."

 

"How long has it been, since we watched

An albatross together, gliding just above the water?"

 

"A long time now" I answered "Perhaps a year"

 

"You know why they are there, living only out of sight of land?

They are there just for you, for us

With their calm eyes, they keep us safe

That is their wish and duty."

 

"Give me some sail, and the ropes

And let me take you....   far away... "

 

I knew I could not refuse her

And so we left together

To seek our dreams amongst the ocean's clouds and mists...
