Laurie Crilly Poems

I hope you are sleeping and having beautiful dreams.

While you are sleeping I will steal my way into your dreams and softly brush my lips against yours. I will whisper, 'I love you' in your ear. Wrapping you in the warmth of my touch. Running my fingers through your hair and breathing my hot breath against your neck. Stretching myself up against the length of your body and caressing your outline.
...

I travel throughout this life a stranger without will, without direction
I miss you
I look for you everywhere though my eyes have become blind to what is around me
I miss you
...

I thought about you today and do you know what happened?

My eyes sparkled. I was sitting in a business meeting and I could feel the light from them falling upon the room and I wondered if the others there knew I was in love.
...

Check!

Checkmate!
...

Doorbells ringing in your head
bodiless faces in the room

huddled alone inside your bed
...

I woke this morning, as I do every morning knowing that a piece of me is missing.

I slowly stretched, wriggling my fingers and toes taking careful inventory.
...

Zombies and Ghouls.....

These are not the living dead.....
...

Who are you?

What thoughts and feelings lurk behind your mask?
...

My vagrant soul knows no peace

restless in nature
...

Psssst......over here

I need to tell you something
