Dreaming: Risk for the Familiar

Understand the woman in me,  
Like I love the man in you.  
I need your strong arms around me,  
Till my dreams and the night are through.  

I need you close beside me,  
All things now become new.  
Confusion there in shadows.  
Attempts to cloud my view,  
And once again I risk familiar thoughts,  
To find what's true.  

A heartache caught me,  
Looking up and seeing lights.  
The tears could not keep them,  
Beyond my sight.  
I reached out a hand to touch,  
The jewel within my grasp,  
With a silent prayer of hope,  
Still reeling from the last....  
This flight, too, will pass.  

At night I dream of oceans green  
And violet ribbonned sky  
And places I have only lived  
In another time gone by....  

And I dream of you....  
In most familiar ways.  
The kindness in your eyes,  
The tenderness in your hands,  
The way your smile lights up a room,  
And the truth and calmness,  
Inside your voice.  
When you say, "I understand"  

Understand the woman in me,  
Like I love the man in you.  
I need your strong arms around me,  
Till my dreams and the night are through.

Sherry! You've come back home! ~ and with a love poem that brings tender tears to the eyes and a smile to the heart.

"At night I dream of oceans green  
And violet ribbonned sky  
And places I have only lived  
In another time gone by...."

~ I liked how you formatted that ~ and it was highly poetic!

True love can get us through the difficult times and seems to be even sweeter when we come out of the darkness and into the Light again!

Lovely presentation!

Giving you a warm, loving, welcome-back hug,
Linda

Thanks Artic, An explanation of the midi... When I write these I try to find music that mirrors the emotion to place on my website. This time, however, the song that I just happenned to be listening to on the radio 5 minutes after I finished this was Private Emotion and I saw it not as a mirror of my poem but an answer to its plea. How cool is that?!?!

SEA, How did I know that YOU would love that part LOL.. Thank You!

Blues, Thanks

Hi Linda, Yeah, the prodigal returneth - LOL
I just missed you guys and had to poke my head in and say hi. Glad you enjoyed it. ((((HUGS))))
