Dreaming You


S
he bathes my heart in smile, a sun-lit field of free.
Her loving mind an isle, dip't in eternity.
And in her charming grace, she reaches out to hold
Lost dreams I thought erased into the pasts of old.
Like a feather falling, her words float through my mind.
In whisp'red words calling, her hopes for me to find.
Can this feeling be, the beatings of a "care?"
How is it I can see, a life in living shared?
A whiff of roses blue each time I touch her soul,
Shows unto me of true love's e'er enticing pull.
E'en were I to deny new faith upon my lips,
My heart longs only try... imagining her kiss.
Yearn I only touch her silken wisps of joy.
Drink in of it as such fantasies would employ.
Rare in each life, I think, a kindred soul draws near.
Erecting friendship's link, dissipating tears.
A single breath of light, she's likened to the sun.
My days await her night in mem'ries just begun.
Still naught is e'er perfect, for the world's full of pain.
Of mem'ries and regret, of aching heart's refrain.
Few hearken this as so, not her, she understands.
Your life "goes as it goes," you live it as you can.
Oh an' I could tell her, or that she'd only see-
Undaunted, now I'm sure, I want her life with me.

Infinite dreams
I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend.
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams.

Hey Chris, I so much enjoyed reading this again!

"Rare in each life, I think, a kindred soul draws near."
Soul mates, something I long for, wondering if I actually have one or not!

"Oh an' I could tell her, or that she'd only see-
Undaunted, now I'm sure, I want her life with me."

Again, beautiful words here, music to me ears!
Very touching Chris!

Christopher~

Your words bring such loving thoughts
to the minds of many.

This line alone is worth the read -

'Rare in each life, I think, a kindred soul draws near.'

Enjoyed this gift and I thank you.
