A wierd thing happened to me today. I was looking back for a specific poem to re-post. Despite it being listed twice amongst my tags, I was unable to retrieve it. Even more strange, I kept getting the message that the post didn't exist. This was frustrating but I wasn't going to give up.
I scrolled through pages and pages of poems and eventually found the last time I'd posted it. This is how the post started:
For Ed (Wensum24)
Welcome back! Here's a poem that meant so much to Kiki during your 'darkest days'. As I said the last time I posted it "this one is especially for those who are far apart from each other".
This worried me because I haven't heard from Ed or Kiki for ages and wonder if anyone has any news from either of them?
In the meantime here's that poem:
Whilst I’m asleep
Whilst I’m asleep
I feel your eyes on me
I sense your gaze
Although I cannot see
Whilst I’m asleep
I know you call to me
You speak my name
Though you are far from me
Whilst I’m asleep
You gently touch my cheek
I know it sounds absurd
You make me go all weak
Whilst I’m asleep
Your arms around me fold
You’re there to keep me safe
And from the bitter cold
Whilst I’m asleep
