Hidden Dreams Behind the Press of Glass

every year
he shakes me
emotions
falling
with flakes
inside

this ball
wound up
playing
I'm dreaming
of a white
Christmas"
does he know
i'm dreaming
of his touch?

he sits stirring
his cocoa
while my 
thoughts stir

every sip
allures
imagination
yearning
desires
to feel
the press
of lips
inviting
against mine
the flick
of tongue
whispered secrets
against flesh

the feel
of his edges
within
the trace
of my fingertips

the pulse
of his heart
in the echoes
of mine

the rise
and fall
of his breath
in the shallows
of night

as the music stops
i watch him
slip away
as i kiss
this glass
that contains
my dreams

Thank you so much Juliet. It’s where my muse went with the theme glad for some positive feedback. Hugs ... I love your latest poems but cannot comment on them and congrats on your recent win as well. I couldn’t soup mail you either :(

This s absolutely delightful and so delicate, Sandy. just love how it ends. Even though the season's 180 degrees removed season-wise, it's reminiscent of Sinatra's 'Summer Wind, light and delicate. Bravo! Great entry for the contest. Cheers, Gershon
