Where ohhh where have my sweet dreams gone,
Ones of flesh and blood and heartbeat cadence,
Sing me the sweet dreams song,
Where ohhh where have the sweet dreams gone,
Take me to the cool clear water and sing me again,
Again the soft sweet song,
Touch me
~ touch me~ let me breathe,
Breathe upon skin like the breath of the newborn fawn,
Taste of lips and touch of flesh,
Pomegranate scented lips in wafting waves,
moonbeams touching time til dawn,
moonbeams gaze and dewdrop’s haze,
smell the scents of jasmine ~and prick me wake~
with thorned stems and mischiefs gaze,
I hold of porcelain see of flowers,
And the songs I hear are penned by other hands,
Touching softly gazing gently,
Asleep on wave lapped sands…….
Author notes
I dunno, I had this figurine around and a few pictures and I had no clue what to do with them, thought it was so purtee I had to do something with it, hence a poem and a picture that really is off in a way, as is the poem, I guess at times we feel off and in some place clashing so I suppose this is a reflection of that.....

Sigh...this was quite lovely. Then entire piece flows very well and I adored this line and the way you broke it from the rest of the poem...
Touch me
~ touch me~ let me breathe,"
Quite a sensual feel to your words. Very enjoyable...
Be well....

to me it flet like someone describing death as they underwent it's processes....but i like the picture and the poem regardless of it's meaning..when a work holds more then one meaning you have succeeded in reaching many minds....Artis

Awesome
Awesome write and the pic
~ The background ~ I have this thing with China Dolls for when I was younger my friends used to tell ghost stories around the heater 
and talk about the porcelain doll that would come to life while you sleep hence doing damage to you without you feeling anything~ You would wake up with a cut here or there~ A puncture in places you never thought anything could reach~Bleed you slowly and infect you~ The doll would have this knife in her dress that you would not see~ But her eyes cast this glow of death one would think was a mistake by the creator~Who would complain if the doll was a gift right ~ Love this and keep them coming~ Look forward to more 
~ Big hugs 
and much love~Desire

A wonderful combination.. the imagery and words, almost sensory overload.. what beauty your thoughts evoke. I loved these lines "Pomegranate scented lips in wafting waves,
moonbeams touching time til dawn" simply devine!

There is something about that picture Joe that is both pretty and creepy...I don't know maybe I am in a strange mood. Tis pretty none the less
I am not so sure you have lost your dreams, as it seems you are searching for in the beginning stanzas. The rest of your words had a dream like air and it felt warm and familiar
So I can not decide if this made me feel sad or hopeful, maybe a little of both
You always pen your dreamer heart so beautifully Joe~~ this was precious beautiful
I hope all is well with you
~~Dawn

Salty waves lapped our feet,
at waters edge love made complete.
Hissing winds of nights wild gale,
ocean storms did not prevail.
Moon~beams lighted every touch,
our eyes met deep in~side,
Freezing cold was the night,
yet we were so warm
in the tide..........Laura
Hey Joe!!!!! WOWZERS!!! This was an awsome poem! It really inspired me!!!! You haven't been around much and when you show up you really knock me socks off!!!!! {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} forever!!!! ~Laura

Breathe upon skin like the breath of the newborn fawn,

Ones of flesh and blood and heartbeat cadence,
Sing me the sweet dreams song,
that struck me. i generally define my life as a song. so references to music tend to strick a chord (punny... i know... god, shoot me now).
alas my old friend, i bid you adieu. we don't talk anymore... is sad. ::tear::

Jesus Joe! That is just SO incredibly beautiful.....
So soft and tender.....as a Lover's whisper. Oh my.....I certainly do need a man.
I have a feeling I know what you mean about the picture being off.....but I won't elaborate here.
This is an amazing piece you penned here, my dear friend. Keep 'em coming. I dislike waiting so long for your pen to flow forth with your beautiful soul.
~~~~~ Love & Blessings, Janet ~~~~~

Sing me to life
on a fine lilting song,
End all my strife,
that to love I'll belong,
For a porcelain heart,
cannot feel cannot beat,
but if only you'd touch me,
I would know life complete.
Thanks for the inspiration ~`~... pictures can cause a flood of words... and set the muse afire down a road not seen before.
