Some Day

strawberry incense and baby oiled bodies
a twist of lemon in extremely hot toddies
sipped by succulent lips....

spellbound, i set my glass down
austrian crystal no match for a love so profound
she glows golden, silken as satin
whispered words which may as well have been latin
deaf to the world, lost in her mojo
petite hands brush my chest but i remain immobile
do something! say something! my mind screams
but it's such a little voice lost in my wildest dream

i find myself spiraling up the tunnel toward reality
awaken grainy eyed and..... alone
i turn to the headless pillow beside me

some how....

some way....

some day....

I like how we get introduced to the dream concept fairly late in the work, end of second verse I think. That gives me the opportunity to feel jealous that this actually happened (to anyone other than me) what with the strawberry incense and lemon twist, but then you get the real drift of the poem and I can start relating it to myself again, since I, and any man on earth, had to have had a dream like this at some point. Very nice. Enjoyed reading it. -Yoni
