There are dreams we dream when waking up
Between the dusk and dawn
When we feel each movement in our limbs
That fill us with their warmth
And thoughts filled with such sweet embrace
We never want to let go
Like light inside the darkness where
It fills us up with such a glow
It's in every waking moment
And it's around us everywhere
On billboards and on the silverscreen
Even in the very air
It's musk fills up our nostrils
And makes us tilt and swoon
So sensual and moving
Like dancing beneath a gibbous moon
So start counting down the seconds
Move in concert to the beat
Feel the tingling in your fingers
That goes on right down to your feet
Watch your movements in the mirror
It is such a fine sensation
Giving in to all those feelings
That fill you with their sweet temptation
It can hit you any moment
Even praying on your knees
Those niggling thoughts that tempt you
And fill you up with their disease
It can be so very catching
So watch out you'll be back for more
As it coaxes you to brand new heights
You have never been before
Sometimes you may be stranded
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Just lay back and float by with it
As it takes you beyond all ecstasy
Let you inhibitions fall like raindrops
Washing all your cares and woes away
Take the bull right by the horns
And let me hear you shout and bray
So start counting down the seconds
Move in concert to the beat
Feel the tingling in your fingers
That goes on right down to your feet
Watch your movements in the mirror
It is such a fine sensation
Giving in to all those feelings
That fill you with their sweet temptation
Giving in to all those feelings
That fill you with their sweet temptation...

A very thoughtful piece of penning here. Outlining the many facets that create us - each side of ourselves. This poem leans to that hopeful swing, an embrace of what was, what is, and what will be. Nicely done. Thank you so much for your entry!
