When my nights have grown lonely, when I'm feeling cold.
I always find your words left there, lying within the folds.
Then with all of the affection, so tenderly received.
I wrap myself around them and adorn myself with thee.
Your words will reach around me, like arms that hold a babe.
You swim your way into my soul, then into yours I bathe.
I'm lovingly reminded, of a heart that's pure and true.
I feel the warmth of that love, no longer feeling blue.
I send to you a message, love on feathered flight.
To keep you warm within my love, in your darkest night
I danced upon your golden threads, in glorious quilted seams
Awakened with the morning's light, this could not be a dream
I reached into the morning sky, with all its wondrous hues
Then took a star from the other side and found my way to you
Tis not a phantom lover, but you instead I seek.
Twas your arms about me, not the satin sheet
Desires whispered in my ear, right before you’d leave
Love exists within your words, that’s what I believe
Now more than just a dream, the Dreamweaver's dreams
A golden thread waiting to be pulled, love in tufted seams
I took the thread and tugged it, then pulled with all my might
I broke the seam and love burst forth, a bath of golden light
Knowing now twas meant for me, and not the otherwise.
Your love was there all along; the dream was your disguise

My Dear Sammy,
I took a walk down memory lane and well, two things became apparent. The first being, I'm a woman and as such, typically so, needs to have the last word. LOL. Second and most importantly, this series begged for a happy ending. Yes, I know I'm a hopeless romantic.

I would agree about being a hopeless romantic as is I. This had a wonderful ending turning a dream into reality instead of the reverse. I have always enjoyed seeing couples in love and this poem demonstrates that love can live on. I want to thank you for your entry into the following contest: "Already On My Favorites."

Beautifully written.
I agree on with all the comments with this being a great piece, with well rounded rhyme.
Amazing love poem, with all the "classical" criterias for it to be a successful sensual write.
"When my nights have grown lonely, when I'm feeling cold.
I always find your words left there, lying within the folds.
Then with all of the affection, so tenderly received.
I wrap myself around them and adorn myself with thee."
These lines were beautifully written and so effortlessly weaved.
Great job.
Best of luck.

Ah James,
I am familiar with your thoughts on rhyme. I am genuinely humbled by your comment. The knowledge that I gave you a moment without boundaries, moves me beyond words. Thank you doesn't express it enough.
~Michelle~

Your rhyme is particularly well-rounded and I find the story the poem tells to be heartwarming and surprisingly tangible.
Many pieces of poetry written with love in mind often fall over themselves in an attempt of trying too hard to be beautiful, whereas this poem does not do that.
It is beautiful all on it's own and you and your friend here have made for a fabulous collaboration.
I am not partial to rhyme, as I always tell my readers, but sometimes I look past the form and see a deeper meaning.
This is what I have found in this collaboration. A reason to trascend the boundaries of what is and isn't. I liked this poem and that if enough for me to feel solid in my decision.
much love,
James

Katie,
Sammy just has a way of tapping that spot and bringing the best out in others. I knew it for sure when I read your collaboration. Thank you, it's one of my favorites too.

Sammy,
You have no idea what you have done for me! How in so many ways you have helped me to grow. You were my first friend here. You saw in me what I didn't see in myself. You nurtured and encouraged. So fitting that my first collaboration should be with you. Always gentle, always kind, forever on my mind and in my heart. The threads you wove Sammy, were in every spectrum of color that could be mixed. Then like a kaliescope you gave a flick of the wrist and showed me the wonderous prisms created from those strands. What stands out for me is that you have always woven every dream with just enough gold, a gentle reminder of the warmth of love that color brings, and just enough silver, the gentle prodding to keep reaching for the stars! Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. I just thought it was time you knew what a wonderful person you are, and how lucky we are to be touched by your gift.

Beautiful Poem!
Michelle, this is a wonderful collaberation you have undertaken with Sammy. The two lines I adore are these:
I took the thread and tugged it, then pulled with all my might
I broke the seam and love burst forth, a bath of golden light
Well done the both of you, a truly beautiful piece of work
~Katie~
