I thought I knew you in the dark
Your whispers soft in my ear
Your breath warm in my hair
Your caresses gentle as I dreamt
Your hand stroking my thigh
Or was it just
Could it have been
Nothing more than
A bump in the night?

Lost I may yet reach my goal . . . Without finding all that I seek . . . I may still be made whole.

Hello Miss Demure,
You have quite the blog here. I love the banner in particular, and the unique quote underneath it. I’m afraid I don’t know much about poetry, so I can’t offer you anything in the way of critique, but I do wonder…
If something is touching your thigh and you know you’re alone…don’t you maybe want to flip the lights on and look? It could be a spider.

Nice and tight. I would go with caress. Just my way.

I like the intensity in the first line! This was short and sweet. Nice job.

might have something to do with where i lay my head down, but i’ve always found “bump” to be the correct answer, although one never ever stops hoping, hope being a nasty little habit we’re all born with

I simply love the honesty in this poem. I was right there, staring at the ceiling, thinking about how I’ve felt after a suspected “bump in the night” Unfortunately, most times my suspicions were correct. Oh my….. Or, perhaps my suspicious aura was a turn off… Who TF knows. . . 🙂
Again, very profound, mind engaging poem here!
Blessings, C.
