Night's Dream

(2/11/2014) I want to roll into myself until there is nothing left Close the golden doors to light and live in my dreams Float away into the clouds where I can fly Kiss strange men that confess their love for me Breath heavy and sweet Sweat rolling down my neck like honey Tingling everywhere, everywhere Come into me like a child returning home Desiring to have that child return home Fingers grasping at flesh, digging rivers, White sheets, flashes of dark and light Crawling into, rolling into, breathing, heavy, sweet Heavy, sweat, rolling, panting, flashes, Broken into until there is nothing left

I was very taken with this poem, and I don't know if you're familiar with the poet kim addonizio, but something about this reminds me very much of her style...I was unsure about the child analogy and that just kept it outside 3rd - only just - but a terrific poem all the same - congrats on your win in my contest :)

Thanks. I know the child analogy...I have taken it out and put it back repeatedly. I don't know if I can even explain it. I feel like it needs to be there for the sake of age. This is not a young woman and the maturity seems questionable without it. Plus it is just queer and I like to save a place for that in my writing.
