I crossed over the bridge of enchantment
to the garden of my dreams
sweet gardenias scented the night
wisterias cascaded like
waterfalls of budded rhymes

Upon the blossoms of my dreams
the dew of ecstacy
In the middle of a wish
a wish that touched my soul
I tasted and I touched
and I felt your sweet caress
little did I realize
I would trip and fall
Fall from the bridge
the bridge of tenderness

Oh how it glittered
glittered with trust
the bridge of enchantment
a span of wishful stars

I waded in the pools of temptation
only for a short time
swimming within your eyes
drowning in fate to come
cherishing breathless love
each tender kiss from your lips

I crossed over the bridge of enchantment
back to the pillow of my dreams
only to have the span collapse
over quicksand, painted soft joke blue
before I could kiss you one more time

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

Victoria, you express the beauty and the sadness of love perfectly. Why do they always let us fall, anyway?
