I sleep, I think, I dream, I love. You

Missing my husband has driven me to write this.

As I laid myself down to go to sleep, my thoughts wandered. Every time I closed my eyes, my thoughts wandered to you. Even as I tossed and turned, my thoughts wandered. And as my consciousness left me, my thoughts wandered to you.

My dreams are rarely vivid, but tonight they are of you. My dreams are rarely remembered, but tonight they are of you. Tonight my dreams are happy, because they are of you.

When I wake every morning, I know my love is you. Even if I wake up late, I know my love is you. Even if I never dreamed, I know my love is you. Even if I never slept, my love is always you.

I sleep, I think, I dream, I love. You.

Author's Note

This is my first shot at poetry. It took me a total of five minutes to write, but I figure I would go ahead and get some feedback on it :)

A fine first pen. Horribly romantic. Poetry is hard because rules exist, and even without, writers self-impose brevity. No rambling or loose word choices under a facade called poetry. I like your work. I have a much shorter, less happy Haiku, with the dreaming topic called "The Mourning". Keep sculpting poetry. It enhances all writing.

A very sweet and well written poem. Admittedly, the poem is a bit odd format wise, but it is no big deal. Overall, the poem was very good.
