Symphony…

(In a dream)

~*~

~*~

She closes her eyes to watch the parade of allemande memories dance

through her mind…as if choreographed…

Only these memories are of him…and her…desire mixed with love…

creating a symphony out of each detail of their time together…

His eyes imprinted in her mind…

so full of adoration and his love for her…

His touch forever fixed as an indelible mark upon her senses…

heightening them with only a thought…

His voice the song in her heart…

soothing while caressing her with each word… such sweet elegance…

This dance of love keeping synchronous rhythm…

 Every step…every breath…every heartbeat shared….

Building the chorus of their song…

keeping time…once elusive…now at their leisure…

Each memory adds to the one before…

As it is being composed with each new moment…

adding to its crescendo…

Intoxicating Inception…

~*~

~*~

As if from nowhere…

Suddenly you were there…

You knew me, better than I knew myself…

I recognized you even though you were unknown…

Intoxicating inception…

~*~

Soft sensuous whispers of promising adventures to come…

Laughter…joy…peace…trust…

Excited anticipation to know and be known again…

Seduction by words…

~*~

Reality comes crashing in…

Doubt…fear…uncertainty…

This can not be real…

You are my imagination’s foolish figment…

I realize the truth…

You can not be here….

This can not be real…

~*~

The mind rationalizes the irrational, to protect itself…

Dichotomy in a dream…

~*~

Dare I risk tempestuous temptation?

What if…

A whole plethora of what if’s…

~*~

If I want to live…

If I want to truly experience life…

Then I must accept the terrifying risk…

That when I awake from this desirous dream…

You…disappear…

Elusive…

~*~

~*~

There I lay…

Sleepless night…

Lost in my distracted thoughts…

Unable to rest…to be still…

The mind rushes…

~*~

Sleep comes…softly…

Fleeting…threatening to vanish…

Toss and Turn….

Twisted sheets match my thoughts…

My dreams….don’t dream…

~*~

Please…sleep come…

Take me where I can dream…

Where I want to dream…

Don’t disappear…

~*~

Dreams come hard and fast….

Too fast…too elusive…

The mind rushes…

~*~

Please slow down…

I want to know you…savor your lucid images…

Revel in the falling…

Dreams sweet embrace…

~*~

I cannot dream…

Will not dream…

For fear of awakening…yet again…

Dreaded disappearance…

The mind rushes…

~*~

Sleepless night…

One more action….

Bringing me closer…

One more piece…

One hope…

An entire dream being built …

By adding one…

River of Words…

“It is such a secret place, the land of tears.” 

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince ~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Suppressed temptation…

Longing…anticipatiously…

Dream of loves sweet embrace…

Yet again…slowly rushing…

Peace, joy, happiness…

Sublime impatience…

Remember…No…don’t remember…

Create new pieces…a new journey to adventure…

Excitement…

All that I was is added to all I will become…

The path I fear to tread…

Fear, pain, agony…new pieces…

Now I know…

Now I can add those to the past puzzle…

Tears falling…

Creating the new river…

Ready to be swept away…

Letting go…

My sadness makes you immortal…

Reflections in my eyes of who I was…

Morphing into….

Who I will become…
