Winter Dreams

A friend of mine recently sent me a poem she wrote for me. She said to "Picture one of your red-hot character lovers next to you!" 


(Thanks - I will!   )  


A big shout-out to Kathy Shattuck, who blogs at Prosetry in Motion. She gave me permission to share this - enjoy!

Winter Dreams

By

Kathleen Sara Shattuck

Close your eyes my nightingale

Visions in sleep will soon entail

Solstice scenes

Within your dreams

Close your eyes to landscapes untold

Hold them near as they unfold

By the fire on cold winter nights

Wishing dreams of beautiful sights

A crackling fire sings of past glories

Floating, drifting, to lullaby stories

Soft and warm, and near to my heart

You lie beside me, and feel the spark

Encircled, entangled, in ecstasy

Our bodies glow in the firelight

Smoldering, burning, tumultuously

Our hearts catch on fire, as the blanket on the floor

Grab the fire extinguisher

my love

and head for the door!
