Last night as I lay sleeping, love,
A vision came to me.
It was of you and I, my love,
A wondrous sight to see.

And in the dream I had, my love,
I reached and touched your face
I clasped you hand in mine, my love,
And felt your warm embrace.

I pressed my lips to yours, my love,
To taste your kiss so sweet
You held me for a minute, love,
In this moment that did fleet.

I wakened from the dream, my love,
With a thought of you that stayed
With me throughout the day, my love,
And never once did fade.

And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

Thanks, Elizabeth! What do you mean, I stole your name? I was here first!

Ha ha. Thanks again.

Fishing was great, Denise. I caught a couple nice ones, but of course you should have seen the one that got away.

FYI everyone, I just wanted to say this was based on a dream I really had-very, very sweet!

Lucky dreamer! This is very well done - like the use of the word 'fleet'.

Will the 'real' Elizabeth please stand up!

Elizabeth - This had to be a LOVELY dream.
And I love fishing too.

Twin Elizabeth's, how swell.
I am sure we'll be able to tell
them apart by the words in their heart.
But, now that I think about it,
seems to me ...
they BOTH have hearts
as big as can be.

Well, whatever.
I can tell ...
double Elizabeth's
are really swell !

I AM the real Elizabeth! Really I am! See, I was here first, look on my profile and see that I was registered when these forums opened back in June!

Hehe~well, Elizabeth Santos has her last name on, so that's how we'll be able to tell.

Oh, and before I forget, thank you for your kindness, Marge. It is nice to have you here at Passions. Recently, I returned from a three week hiatus to find many new members and poems to read (what a pleasant surprise!) and you are among them, along with my "twin" Elizabeth. So welcome to you both! Thanks again Marge!
