Close your eyes 
and bring me into your dreams. 
Let the distance disappear
so you hold and feel me in your arms.

Resting my head on your chest,
 listening to your heart beat. 
Running my fingers through your hair 
softly as I caress your lips.

Draw me out of the ocean
that divides us into your sleep.
Free me to share your love as you  look
 into my eyes blue as a summer sky.

Tell me again of your love,
how you give it to me freely.
Touch me with your words as well as
your body until I am one with you.

As my eyes close in sleep
 I hear your laughter and I smile.  
Your teasing words come back to me
as I relax into the darkness of my mind.

I see your eyes with warmth and desire
as I float in space and time to be with you. 
Molding my body to yours once more.

Easing back into the day
 I leave your arms again
recalling your closeness in total clarity,
 feeling renewed in my love for you.

Knowing it was just a dream,
but a dream we share. 
Bringing the reality of our love
 into our dreams of when
we will be together.
