DREAMING Is this magic, am I dreaming? Shall I believe this real? Of light within your eyes gleaming, This emotion I feel. By head, by heart, by touch I bleed, By joy I've never known... Am I to fear what I so need That I must be alone? If I but dream let me not wake That I come not to know... But if I wish upon Heartache May it never let go. I'd chance any pain offered me To have just one more day... To cast upon Eternity This hope that you may stay. To hold you in my arms once more, To look within your eyes. Those eyes of love I so adore Through tears I can't disguise. Upon lips I've tenderly kissed, Of softest pink and plush. By skin I've loved, longed for and missed And have watched sweetly blush. By words whispered that none may hear By temptations of lust. By all Passion that's pulled you near, Or dared to touch your trust. Is this magic, this love in you? That joy and bliss all seem... To hold my ev'ry wish now true, Or 'tis but all a dream? Michael Anderson [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 06-05-2000).] |

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me...

A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

Janet, allowing myself to dream I am - and never could I have thought up a more beautiful one... All smiles here.serenity - Ah, my eyes are open - as is my heart... (no dreaming allowed, eh?) ellie, TY - very much a reality, I'm sure. tracie, been a long time coming but every bit worth the wait I may add... Kit, TY - the ending usually makes the whole poem for me... Irish Rose, Indeed, nothing else even comes close. Amy, Thank you my dear friend - I have wished similiarly for you... Rebecca - I keep pinching myself... LOL and her as well... Sunshine - no, haven't heard that one lately... but still good to know...LOL Thank you all for the kind replies... Michael |

Michael...it seems we have some catching up to do here Grinning big time and hoping against all hopes that you are not dreaming.If this be a dream I see If night and mind play tricks on me Let me not from it awake But further into sleep please take If her whisper be unreal Let not my poor heart sorrow feel But ban me to my dreams to dwell If daylight breaks this magic spell |

Sheesh -- I woke up with all these bruises, like someone had been pinching me -- know anything about that, Michael m'dear? OK hun -- I have good news and bad ... Good news: This isn't a dream. I am real, alive, and here with you ... and I absolutely adore you (how could I not?). Bad news: This isn't a dream. I am real, alive, and subject to the whim of reality -- which as we both know isn't all daisychains. Here's hoping that these two stubborn poets can shape the reality to resemble the dream ... Hugs and smooches, --Me Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

I have only one thing to say...... Everybody should be adored by somebody  "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |
