I want to dream
I want to dream
in a place
where I have been before
not dreaming.
I want the face
in that place
to be yours.
I want your breath
on my neck
to be what woke me.

wanting the face, wanting the breath on the neck to be what wakes you – fine images
Mike, your reply sounds like the beginning of a poem. Thanks for liking the images.
I like the airy rhythm of the poem, the rhyme, the off-rhyme, and the monosyllabic last two stanzas.
Gaby, your analysis of my words is right on.
Haunting last lines!
Poems, dreams, and memories can be haunting. Thanks for using the word in your reply.
At the same time both sparse and evocative. I really like it.
Jasmine, I spend much time when I write a sparse poem, and you finding this one to be evocative thrills me.
