Empty Dreams Leave Full Cups

I'm resting under this galaxy
of your face
but these stars
don't compare to your eyes

"These lights on the ground bleed dreams of you"

You are everywhere
Its been a week and one day
since I've kissed your mouth

but we made love
in my dreams last night
Between the sheets
of this bed

and I wake up to your scent
imbibed to my pillow cases
I'll get up,
and make us coffee

but empty dreams leave full cups left on the counter

I starve for you
and remember to breathe
so that you can take my breath away tonight
when I do sleep again

    This is the first time you've left me breathless. Not to belittle your other pieces... it takes something special to do this to me. You are the polar opposite of me... poetry that is perfectly clear, and beautiful still. You have no need for the obscurity that I rely upon... to cloud the weak ideas behind my work: Because you feel it. I think I have to play pretend. -Adrian

    make it decaf...

    fantabulous, as usual..."empty dreams leave full cups on the counter..." --> they also leave you with empty pockets and resentment :). I think missing someone is one of the greatest feelings in the world, even though it hurts the most. There is someone out there that means enough to you that you are incomplete without them...Damn those stupid stupid boys. I love you...I miss you terribly as well dahling...-Jena
