on the horizon of a fairytale

Ivory silk gown trailing as the spring breeze swirls about her
Open fields of emeralds wave as though saying goodbye
Crescent moon fogged in by distant clouds, far beyond reach

Lyrics of old love songs carried to heart, melodies taken from one’s soul
Time and place foreign, but so familiar
Faces obscure, yet ones we recognize

A voice cries out through the night, a blood curdling scream
As you bolt upright in your bed, you wonder
That scream…was it mine…or hers…?

May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...

You startled me.  Well done.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

You have described it very well. I have woken because of a scream only to realize it was my own.
