In
this dream I come to the studio in my little pale rose printed blouse
and jeans. I'm wearing my painting apron the kids made me at the
preschool. I walk up to the studio next to Seth's and edge toward the
open door. There you sit at a large wooden desk. Busy with work. I peek
very carefully over the threshold to see if it's really you. I see your
beautiful face illuminated by the lamp. It's night and you've been
tinkering with something that has you puzzled. I move back behind the
wall out of sight. I'm not going in there. What am I doing? I should
leave, but I don't. I wring my hands and bite my lip struggling to make a
decision. So I walk away toward the stairwell to leave. As I begin to
descend the marble steps I look back over my shoulder to see the light
from your studio one last time. Only this time I see your eyes peering
around the threshold in the warm light. I'm caught. I smile at you. You
look hard and long into me. I come closer and you go back into the room.
I walk in and you're at your desk in a big office chair. Your back is
to the desk and you're eating some kind of candy. I take in your scent
and my body responds. You have a studio mate and he's having a craft
party. He and his friends are making costumes and weapons out of black,
midnight blue and dark purple glow in the dark tape. I'm sitting in a
chair next to you chatting with your friend. Hes very excited about this
crazy sword he made. It's ridiculously long and I'm stifling laughter
because he's so serious about it. He starts to dance and waves the sword
around like he's a Kung Fu movie star. Then I feel myself being pulled
backward in my chair into you. You spin my chair and you put me in your lap. You
run your hands into my hair and breathe me in. I'm lying on my back in
your arms looking up into your eyes. My feet are propped up on the desk.
You ask me very quietly with your mouth so close to mine "What kind of
magic did you bring with you to Washington?" I said I haven't shared
ritual here with anyone yet. You lift my face to yours and say "It's
time you did." The last thing I remember is you telling me it's not a
kiss if you're only sharing candy. You then put your mouth to mine and I
reach for the sweet spheres you offer with my tongue. One by one you
slowly move these delicious little round candies into my mouth. I try
hard not to kiss you, but our lips are sweet and molten lava is swelling
in my chest. I very carefully move my lips along yours never breaking
the seal and letting the candies flow from you to me. I suck the very
tip of your tongue as I take another candy. You kiss back slow and
careful. We kissed for hours it seemed. I woke up with your arms still
wrapped around me drinking from my mouth.
This is lovely...
