Dare To Dream Poem by Mari Martin

In the calm of night
when my body sleeps in soft repose
my heart awakens to your touch.
Ever gentle does your presense
capture my dreams
to take them soaring through the mists
of passion yet unawakened.

Here in the drifting essense of your love
do I know the touch of such tenderness,
the fire of unbridled need
that takes my spirit higher
into the abiss of desire.

Ablaze in the endless waves
as the nova of our love is born,
do you take my need of you
to enfold it within your own
as the caterpillar retreats
to it's cocoon
there to rest
until the time of awakening comes
to burst forth
in a glorious stained glass splendor
created only once in a lifetime
spent in a breaths exhale.


If it is but in this place
of moonlight rapture and blazing sun
that I find you
let me remain captured
intertwined
in the silken web
woven of dreams
reaching to the endless boundries
that keeps me within
the realm of blissful sleep.
