Poetry prompt

I was lazy today. Well, not lazy, just really busy at work. So I didn't take the time to write a new poem for the daily prompt. You should check it out. There are some very cool poems there.

Today's was an outsider poem and I chose to use one I wrote about two years ago and posted here.

Remember this one?:

My fantasy
I see you
when I close my eyes
feel your lips
next to mine
my heart beat
quickens
in anticipation
sweaty palms
bated breath
the scent of you
overwhelming

I reach out to you
lightly holding your hand
fearing anything more
will spin my mind
out of control
we walk together
barely touching
stopping along the path
"enough already"
you say
pulling me close
oh
so
close
your lips touch mine
and I can't breath
I can't think
I see colors

slowly, softly
you stop
backing away
far away
until you are gone

and I awaken
reaching for you
until I realize
it was only a dream
again

It's actually one of my favorites. I am excited to see what tomorrow's prompt will be.
