Poetry of the DarkChild
Last Night
I had a dream with warm water...
a soft breeze...
rays of light shining along a cool
vast stream...
with a scent so rare
it tickles my senses...
but hightens my curiosity
of from where such a smell came...

Sun settling in the far distance...
mist covers the air...
softly silkening my skin as I wonder
but where....

I see you...
beyond a vision of earths' blanket...
stained by the hue of red covered roses...
I reach out to you
my love...
longing for your touch...
feel..
your breath upon my skin
holding me close...
dear...
to your soul
never letting go...
in my dream it was so clear
me and my husband...

until....

the phone rings...
it's 4:00 in the morning
I turn over and realize my love is not here with me...
he's with Justine...

"Hello..."
"Hi...it's me"
"What do you want?"
"You were right about everthing. I'm sorry I caused you pain.  I miss you and I love you.  I hope you will be able to forgive me.  Sweet dreams."

then....

my alarm clock goes off...
I stare
as you lay next to me...
It's 4:00 in the morning
Damn....
a dream in a dream
