Before I Wake

Days go by
In this unfamiliar place
Airplanes above me
As I sleep

Arms stretched out
In quiet comfort
Feeling of something new
In this fairly familiar place

Wondering what it's like
As stars fly by
The time is unknown
As I drown tonight

It's an imaginary place I feel
Something mysterious and close
When I drift in blankets
To where you are

It's not too far away
Close enough to my pillow
My hair spread out
Under your hands

As I wake again
From the night
Don't try to fight again
In the world I make

Something is empty
Refilling me
Rebirthing me
Coming back and I

Drown again
In you, my friend

Raise an arm
Trying to breathe again
With heat smothering me
So pleasantly

Where I am
Is changing tonight
Maybe that hallway
With us

Something nostalgic
Yet enigmatic
Memories so vague
Are coming through

Catching the falling star
In my eye
Smiles of night
With bedside lights

Marking the calendars
With masking tape
Time is lost again
Before I wake

Author's Note

Something that came to me last night. Just a song.

This is a wonderful poem Promise, full of intrigue and passion but lost in time and space. I like the choice of words but I always like that of you, but what's different in the placement of words is the message of mystery, passion and those secrets that are hidden in the absence, just before you awake. it's a mind altering poem. Nicely Erotic...wonderful write...

In the last paragraph should it be "With masking tape" not "With making tape" ...lol
