Sleepless
~~
The inky blackness of the night
Is warm and cloying on my skin
Blanket-like it covers me
I find it difficult to breathe
Clotted air weighs heavily
Upon my body as I lie
Presses down against my breast
A spectral lover in the dark
Would that you’d return to me
Hold me in your gentle arms
Stroke me with your loving touch
And be the one I miss so much

Sad but beautiful.
Thank you, Liz. It’s been a long time… good to see you again.
This is a sad one, adee.
*hugs*
Mostly fiction, Hope. Imagination is responsible, lol!
Love this, adee. I’m glad it’s mostly fiction, but I think we’ve all had nights like this.
I agree, AD. Fortunately Jo’burg doesn’t have the humidity of the coast so I don’t feel the heat as much.
Definitely not Sleepless in Seattle
Hahaha, you said it, BB.
