Tossing and turning all night I struggle to clear my mind Thoughts of you have awaken me Gentle sleep I so dearly crave A shadow appears in my dream A face I see; she smiles at me A form dances to a beat To the beat of my heart Who are you? Why do you trouble me? What is the meaning? Are you a dream or a fantasy? Questions echo through my head Answers eluding with secrecy I wrestle with my conciseness While fighting to be near you Teasing with innocent eyes Tempting with seductive lips Tantalizing with an exotic figure Intoxicating with a sweet fragrance Are you an invention of loneliness? Where have you been hiding? Do you exist outside my dreams? How do I pursue such loveliness? Hunting a wild erotic dream Chasing a haunting ghost Desiring to whisper a name An uncontrollable ache to touch you As I spend my entire night A prisoner of you�re mystifying spell I pray slumber will rapidly find me As your appearance quickens my pulse An incomplete soul without you Forever a part of my being I hunger for pleasure and love Tossing and turning all night Jerry Robards 25 May 2002

Heartfelt anguish of missing someone very dear! Joy, peace and guardian angels are constant companions to any who have worked so as to access such depth of feeling.
