In the cold
I am consumed
with dreams of you
next to me
surrounding me
in your warm arms
whispering of love
your breath so close
I feel your heat
on my skin
and I sigh
because finally
for a moment
the cold is gone
and then
I open my eyes
and freeze

About what sandra thinks
Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.
You write so well. I really like this.. ❤

Thank you, Diane. Wrote it last night… I do my best work at night. (Just ask any guy in my life history… ha! No seriously, I didn’t mean that…)

Seriously, this is awesome. I really need to learn all the different types of poetry. I’m stuck in limerick hell.

I don’t even know what kind of poetry this is. It’s the ‘Sandra’s head is spitting out a tiny story’ type of poetry…

My pleasure. How are you today?

I am okay. Unfortunately, I think I’m okay because today I pretty much avoided everything that causes me stress. And that’s good, in a way, but I really just have no right to avoid these things… and if I think about what I should be doing right now at this very moment, I start to feel the flood of reality coming my way. So… you know, I’m okay today, plus guilt. How are you? I hope you’re having a good day.

Hey, it’s okay to avoid things, for a little while at least. I’m avoiding the housework at the moment! But I know what you mean. My day’s going okay, just need to get my butt into gear and start doing a few things …

I tend to do the most avoiding on the weekends… and it’s easier to do that with everyone home. But I have tremendous guilt when I ignore the job stuff… that I feel like I should be constantly working on… and I hate it so much!
