Description "Remember"

Tell me you never found me stretched
on the ground looking up in a trance,
awake and dreaming of sleep.
Didn’t we first talk about sleeping
on grass under that tree?  
Remember the sound of the bells
that scared me out of my reverie?
You found me awake and dreaming
about you with a different face.  
I dreamt that I found you that day.
Please tell me you didn’t catch me
sleeping alone.

Oh, but my dream and my wish then was
to leave that place
and walk out naked into the snow.
And have it envelop me and pull me
with its urgent sting on my skin
into the most pacific of dreams.
Pull my limbs out
away from my body
and have them embrace the snow—
the cold, the impassive, the powdered ice
gripping my pores; becoming me!
Silencing all that flung itself
inside my cage of flesh,
into the deepest sleep of winter.
A million tiny orgasms screaming,
and melting from their core
to become frozen crystals.

I dreamt I let the snow take me away,
into the purest silence.
Surrounded only by my dreams—
you found me
stretched on the ground.

Well written. Again, your imagery captivates me. Especially the "cage of flesh"
well done.

This poem has very good imagery. I like how you expressed the elements, drawing out inspiration from just snow. It is very well written and takes into an out of body exprience.

i cant flatter you like he can love, and im not good at analyzing poetry but as we talked last night it is so different it is very high up, not glorified but its got this feeling of like being in the sky or something olympic its really a wonderful poem the imagry is very abstract and really punches it i love it!
