About the Poem

Lovers not physically together, but meeting in a dream

Incubus Poet

I read a poet,
captive fragments
airing a pang

(Can memory be turned so
Hazy light will not reveal
muscles intertwined
with soft flesh?)

As in a reverie
I awaken
With intimate
hands.

(In whose dream
do we meet
for sweet
reality?)

Poet, this poem is short, but deep. However, I do happen to know of the incubus/succubus legend. I have written about it myself and I am glad to know I'm not the only one. It's different. Thanks
