Dreaming

How do you swamp my dreams

     and clench my thoughts each night and day?



It seems you dominate my heart

     and mind in every way.



How is it possible one man can sustain

     the power to preserve this trance,



You've established control of my every emotion

     just from your first stirring glance.



I've tried to confront you -

To show my affection



In hope our eyes meet

And our hearts make connection



I already love you -

You may not believe



You've won me entirely.....

Never I'd leave.



I long to possess your heart and

     hold your body every night



I want to hear you say you love me

     and feel you hold me tight.



Until the day comes when I can confront you

     and tell you how I feel



I'll dream of you and I each night

     under impressions it was real.

Oh, ye of little faith! You should go tell him now. If he isn't floored, he is dead! Gracious sakes alive girl! If you go tell him, take some 02 and some defib equipment.

After reading several of your poems. I have come to the conclusion that you are not only a hopeless romantic, but you have a magnificent way of expressing it.

Oooh...the raw emotion of the moment is so evident. I really appreciate your writing style in this poem, the short, concise examples you give, the rhyme, and the open questions. It seems like you're talking the situation over with yourself, so it progresses naturally...just a shame nothing came of it. Have fun,

Once again, this is a bittersweet poem....bitter, coz the persona has not told or opened her heart to his/her love...and sweet coz of the romantic devotion he/she feels.... thanxs for oopening up that bit of your heart for us to read...it is brave and commendable of u. I think u have a wonderful way of penning very heartfelt words, Stephanie....and it's something i really admire. Smilesz... I 'm glad to know u....and welcome to postpoems~!!
