the memory of you stirs in my heart
like a faint scent carried on the breeze
or a strain of forgotten music

almost as if I am suddenly awakened
from a fairy tale sleep
by the kiss of a handsome prince
and I open my eyes, a smile on my lips
to see you knelt there before me
welcoming me back in to your embrace
where I belong

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

yawning and wakening
to the soft light of morning
I open my eyes and look for you
to be knelt there beside my bed
the feel of your kiss fresh on my lips
but the space where you were
was empty, empty as my arms
and my smile fades to a wistful glance
as memories of you flood the room
and my heart

it was just a dream
and you're still there
and I'm still here

 Shall we live to breathe again? Or simply just exsist in this limbo we dare to call life!

A lovely poem. Sometimes the dream is better than the reality could ever become.

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

Irish proverb.

I like the feel in this poem sort of wistful and sad.

Very nice

I have had that dream many times. You convey so well the lingering of the spirit. I am convinced that often when we're dreaming or thinking of someone, it's because their thoughts are on us. It's more than a memory. And the feeling of that person lingers for moments after waking up from the dream, whether it be a nighttime dream or a daydream. As you can tell, I loved this poem, because it is so well written.
