Until You

You painted dreams
On canvas of night,
Scattered stars in my eyes
Until
Once again,
I believed in magic

The words you spun
Like liquid gold
Enveloped me in a fantasy
Where I could love without reserve,
Trust without fear

I was drawn to you
~Spellbound~
Powerless to fight my fate

Your kiss—
So soft and sudden
Broke my reverie
And reality came crashing in

In that moment
~I knew~

You are my destiny

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my poem, everyone!

Sven, thank you, my friend.  You know I am happier than ever before.

Marge, I may not get here often, but I still think of it as "home".

krawdad, thank you...those are my favorite phrases as well.

This is so true... It's such a simple, yet powerful poem. I could see myself in it.
