In my reverie

What’s gone is gone,  it’s true
All but the secret memories I prize
The lovely things we styled
Like orchids far from prying eyes
In tropic forests growing wild
Once in our secret rendezvous

And in my reverie I often think
Of how that tryst of love had passed
Till weary in my arms at last
Looking up you'd smile to soft entreat
Snuggle warm and murmur whisper sweet

There now darling,  sigh your wistful sighs
Your tears of joy make all things reconciled
Those orchids pale beside your sleepy eyes
And the distant forest envies me
This time I’ve whiled,  in my reverie

Then I awake to find it all a dream
Deceptions of the early gleam
But turning sorrowed back to sleep
I brush your shoulder with my cheek
And know your scent
And thrill in passions deep

For you are there!
Oh, do not speak
Just hold me now
Trembling in the dawn of day
Against your breast
And kiss my tears away

Beautiful Stan!! I love your imagery here.. I'm sending this to you in an email since your very first post was in Adult and we don't have the ability to send ecards from there.
