You Came In Pieces
I woke up feeling whole
the last unsteady part of myself shifted
I dreamt about you, in pieces
Each time you came, it was with a different face
But they were all you
This faceless, beautiful Floridian
Etched so smoothly and definitively
Into my dreams
The distance it seemed melted away, a collision of thoughts
Melding our consciousness
Like two drifting clouds
So much interlaced that I can’t tell
Where you start and I end
Only this wholesome heaviness
Blanketing my heart in a gentle embrace
That both strikes and soothes me
Now as the early morning haze drawls on
This place between sleep and cognizance
I feel you
The warmth trapped in the folds of my sheets
your breath
The autumn chill, unfurling softly a light blue
Your eyes
Not wanting to leave this place, but rather drink you all in
Filling myself up to the brink of absolution
Drunk off your essence
Leaving nothing but this selfish need
Of wanton warmth mixed with the repose of your soul
Forever filling my voracious love
You Came in Pieces
I'm new to poetry and all the meanings they convey. His words touched me in a way that no others could since I am the Floridian of which he speaks of. His conitnued writing will only get better, a talent that he is well equipped for. He blesses me with his words like no one else ever could. A pensivestranger, maybe, but not to me.

I have read all of your poetry to date.
They are all well worth reading, though I speak from limited exposure, I hope there are more from the fountain. I am sure anything you write will be worth the investment. This one, "You Came in Pieces", is the most intriguing I have encountered, the one I found as the most thought provoking and alluring.
Peace
