Dreaming
by Emma Mary Gascoyne

I felt your lips on mine
A gentle brush so fine
And so restless in my sleep
I sought to savour and to keep

I felt your fingers touch my face
As if the contours you would trace
And so in somnambulistic trance
My body swayed as if to dance

I felt your breath - a freshened breeze
Like fingertips that gently tease
And stretching out I sought to find
A gentle love held in my mind.
