Not So Lonely Nights Poem by David Whalen

`Memories of tin roof's thrum
A tattoo of summer rain
Memories that always come
To push away the pain

Of nights long and lonely
Soft with night birds trill
And I know that I'm not the only one
Who lust for dark night's thrill

The sense` of seeking fingers
Their persistent probing touch
The feel of velvet lingers in
Afterglow of intense rush

So real sometimes it seems
to feel like reality squared
To surrender all, in my dreams
My soul my essence bared

My loneliness takes leave of me
And my primal self is freed
All pretense of inhibition flees
And my dreams satisfy my need

The storm has reached its climax
The rain has slipped away
Faint memories of sensual acts
to savor through the day

The night has surrendered to
Demands made by the dawn
Last night dreams...an interlude
to help me soldier on

Arise...Arise once more
The not so lonesome night is gone
memories linger of gentle fingers
Soft touch before the dawn

Sweet memories don't flee from me
Let me savor the delights
But if you leave, I shall not grieve
For there's always more
…"Not so lonely nights! "...
