California

Last night
I heard my luggage
call my name

It was your voice
all so familiar
maybe i dreamed
of you in California

In my dream
I caressed your face
with the back of my hand
and smelled your dark hair

I saw the stars flicker
in your eyes
was it a dream,
a dream within you?

I saw you
I heard your sigh
I felt warm damp sheets
wrapped around us

lost in your embrace
I heard you catch your breath
felt your heartbeat
then heard you sigh again

all in a dream
of you in California..

hi, Kenneth. .. I admire the poem. I know you wrote the poem 2 months ago. However, the poem fits perfectly right now. I love the big feeling of taking a dream a voice, that draws you in to a Texas, gals heart... you never know she might just be from Texas. ..this dream girl. ..

Hi Linda Paloma, So glad you enjoyed the poem..It was wrote out of poet's imagination at the time..Maybe it served a purpose today...They say dreams come true sometimes..Glad to read from you as usual... Yours, Ken...
