POETRY: IN DREAM

As I watched the clouds today,
do you know what I saw?
I saw a cloud that looked like you,
reaching out for me
I tried to touch your hand,
but it just moved away
My arms were stretching up towards you, but,
the breeze blew them astray

I wanted you to touch my hand,
if only as a cloud
Then I would feel near to you,
but, no, it wasn't allowed
Then I saw you coming again,
moving very fast
The wind had picked me up
and, with you I was at last

The wind had blown us to and fro,
at last we were together
Intertwined, becoming one,
and floating as if feathers
The sky turned dark, tore us apart
and I started to cry
Why couldn't we stay together,
there in the clouds... in the sky?

PART II

Thinking about you a little more than I should,
you crawled into my heart a little farther than I thought you would...
Whenever I see you, my mind runs directly South,
and I will always remember the taste and feel of your mouth...

There's a special bond we are both aware of,
a special feeling we both protect and take care of...
It comes along but once in this life that we share,
in this lifetime that I have had, no other can compare...

Where do we go from here?

You can reach out and touch me with just your smile,
there's just something about you, your way and your style...
You're the only man who could ever kiss me with his eyes,
just a glance sends my soul soaring up through the skies...

With a touch of your hand my resistance melts away,
just a simple word from your lips makes me want to stay...
It's not the fact that you'll stay in my heart,
but the fact that you've been there right from the start...

Where do we go from here?

Our lives had always led us in opposite directions,
I can see clearly our mistakes, in reflection...
We can't change the past or predict what's yet to come,
just make the moments count until our time here is done...

There's no need for us to wallow in sorrow or regret,
because it's obvious to me that we're not done here yet...
Some circumstances may be a bit beyond control,
but good strong friendships can satisfy a loving soul...

Where do we go from here?

So, kiss me in your dreams and I'll meet you in mine,
it's the safest place for us to spend uninterrupted time...
and on the Riviera Paradise we'll both slowly drift away,
resting in each other's arms until the break of a new day...

and the tropical breezes that blow through our memories,
will keep us warm and smiling for all our own eternities...
For every moment we share can never be erased,
and the feeling each one brings will never be replaced...


PART III

In dreams you take my hand again,
Pull me close and laugh,
And all is as it was back then.

You gaze into my soul; love surrounds me,
Somehow quieting the pain in my heart,
A presence I've missed around me.

In dreams you yearn for me,
You know this emptiness I feel,
And how important a lover's touch can be.

Your hand upon my skin, your lips brushing mine,
In dreams these things are real again,
Until the end of time.

So, bring the evening's sweet caress and I'll no longer cry.
I'll meet you there tonight, my love...
In dreams, just you and I.
