YOU

You?
You haunt my dreams.
In the nocturnal landscape
your form takes shape:
with eyes tight shut
you're distant, but
I feel you here
so close it seems
I'm touching you.

You
warm my nights
and loneliness banish,
make inhibitions vanish.
Like restless wraiths
denouncing their faiths,
we laugh, kiss, get drunk,
yet never descend into ego fights.
I'm addicted to you.

You,
when in capricious mood,
can drive me crazy
with meanings hazy
of perplexing metaphors -
but even this quirkiness of yours
utterly captivates...
evokes wild desire, without being lewd.
Oh how I want you.

You
know I exist
just to be with you,
in spite of vehemently denying it's true.
In reality, it is my brash oath
that I, alone, can love for us both
that finally gives my game away:
for I am a fanatical fantasist -
the one who invented you! πŸ˜‰

  1. Simply gorgeous - and a love letter that any fantasy would be proud to receive. As would any flesh and blood body as well.
    Huge hugs and have a wonderful weekend.

  2. My sweet Ygraine,
    You do not haunt my dreams, but you reside in them. In the night landscape, I see you stripped of clothes and fears.
    Your long hair is down, your shapes enchant me, my eyes are closed, but I can see you.
    You're distant, but I really feel you so close to me, it feels like I'm touching your face with your fingers. You also warm my nights, making my shyness disappear.
    The ghosts of the past, which remain in the past, restless, denouncing their uncertainties. Here, we laugh, kiss, become addicted to each other. Humor is made of whims and love can drive me crazy with its metaphorical uncertainties. Still, how I want you!
    The clipping of your verses today, reaffirms and confirms that you live in my heart!
    Lots of kisses and continue on anti-COVID care. ƸӜƷ

    2. Ygraine,
      There's a phrase of mine that says:

  3. Wow! Your creative soul conjures romantic allusions of a fantasy romance and yet it breaths as if alive with emotions.
    Am I surprised? No! When one dreams and writes from the heart...words become reality.
    Bravo my beautiful and talented friend...my sister in spirit.
    Big Hugs and Much Love Always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    1. Dearest Jan, I wrote this at 3am during a bout of insomnia! I considered it just a bit of nonsense, just something to train my exhausted mind with.
      Yet, here, I see that you liked it...and I honestly feel so honoured!
      Oh thank you so much, my beautiful Soul Sister...your kind words mean so much.😊😊

      Sending you much love and hugs back ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  9. There are people who invent love in a delusional fantasy ... Not being good, it is better than nothing ...
    I liked your poem, it's brilliant.
    Have a nice weekend, dear Ygraine. In safety.
    Kisses.

    1. A sad fact...that the delusion is sometimes so much better than the real thing (especially when we are young and inexperienced in the relationship department!)!πŸ˜‰
