Item 4: a poem to you myself

Entered by allida on Sat Jan 23 00:11:59 1999:

I dreamt of you last night.  
sight
and touch
and breath
and sound.
I dreamt of a room last night.
You
 and I
and tables 
and people.
I dreamt I leaned in close to
you
your nose
your cheek
your lips.
I dreamt that just before I kissed
you
you said
that is
as far as this is going to go.  
Then I left 
the room
the tables
the poeple
behind me but I kept
you 
your sight
your touch 
your breath
and though your words stung I kept
their sound.

This is another poem that would lend itself well to song-- something like
early Suzanne Vega comes to mind.  Beautiful and elegant.
