nymph of the wide open smile
there is a cheerfulness about you
you are most lovely
when love comes your way
into the labyrinth of stolen moments
trance-like I gaze into your eyes
those hazel eyes
and a lovelier neck n’er before has been
blissful would I be if those wine-colored
lips would part for mine
ah, I know the mood has passed
all I can do
is dream

sometimes the dream is better
truly...
be grateful for the dream

Oh, I hear you loud and clear, Emma. I guess I'm pretty much satisfied with the dream. Thank you.

Night dreams have a power all their own and mostly play out in random ways, but daydreams and fantasies are consciously created and can take any form at any time.

Your poetry speaks of the latter in vivid detail.

I think the ability to dream is a most precious gift.
