One day, while lost in the internet, I came across a photo of a sweet couple. Who they are and where in the world they live does not matter. To me they represent every couple newly in love; full of hope and dreams for a future together as soul mates. This was a photo of their first meeting, and they looked so shy, and they had fallen in love at first sight, with a love that would last forever. I read they had been together for a year and nine months.
I hope they are happy and their love is as fresh as it looked in that photo.
It is for them I wrote this poem.
The Dream Poem of One Night
One night I came through the door
not expecting to meet anyone new
just another night of keeping the cold
ache of loneliness from my soul
Like a dream you were there
like a dream you stood before me
like a dream you eyes smiled
like a dream you entered my heart
That night I took a chance
although shy and scared of shadows
I took a chance and asked you to dance
like a dream you accepted
Like a dream we fell in love
and for years we've been together
like an orchid slowly unfolding
like a willow our love keeps growing
One night I came through the door
and found the mate my soul was seeking
gentle kind and understanding
like a dream our love endures
