"My Dream"

@Uootem

Here in the blustery weather,
                                  memory takes flight.
                  winter is so cold...
                              but thoughts of us are so warm.
        i have had a dream that has lasted a lifetime...
                            night upon night,
                  a dream with no trace of reality,
                                        the present it did not face,
      a dream with no time but that of the past
                                        a dream with only a label... 'us'
                and now in an awakened state,
                                              it is this dream I require.

We strolled along our shared pathway,
                                              hand in hand,
                a pathway that led us to a playground of youth
                                  where the only game was love...
      nothing else was needed
                          for the boy and girl
                                            to have happiness in their day.

We walked barefoot in the springtime clover.
                          talked a while,
                                      laughed a while,
              we loved for all time,
                            and there I gave you my heart...
                it is yours still
                          and there with you my searching
                                                      for something meaningful ceased.
                but this was not a passing to grieve,
                                          rather to exult,
                                                      for it was the death of loneliness.

You gave me something I have a long since missed,
                                  your smile in response to mine,
          sealed with a love-sweetened kiss.
                              inside I quivered,
                                          there was more passion
                  in that instant in time
                              than I ever thought was possible to experience.

With your touch you removed wounds,
                                        once I assumed would never heal.
                      The death of a heart that could not feel...
                                                                the birth of new emotions there.
                                For death is not the ending,
          rather the contrary is confirmed.
                            And I can believe that,
                                                since the day that first I found you.
              And upon the losing of your love...
                                                            a death,
                                              but a birth
                            of the new emotions
                                                    of yearning and such.

Life without your love
                      is like an infinite nightmare.
                                              And that's the life I seem to know so completely.
          You gave me something with our first shared kiss,
                                      Something
                that I will forever now relive in memories.

Here in the blustery weather,
                            memory takes flight.
            Of the days that have come and gone...
                                                  and the love once found there,
                                          When you gave me the reason
                              to look no more
                    for I had found forever kind of love in your eyes.
                                      In just a short time
                I felt I knew you so well
                                  Here in my thoughts you always will dwell.
