Poem: Where We Are Truly.

as the curtain
dances slowly with the wind
bright light
flickers through the room,
it’s a new day
and I’m alive to see it
my favorite kind of mornings
a new day
with you in it
as you rest facing me
my other eye gradually opens
taking in the full imagery of your face
I think to touch you
to feel your skin
but I think not to disturb your blissful rest
I itch to run my four fingers
through the length of your arm
sliding down slowly, just one time.
my life experiences
amongst other uncontrollable forces
shape my dreams
though I’d want you in those dreams
what I want isn’t what I dream
as you lay here next to me, dreaming,
I’m reminded how lucky we really are
to exist in this world
at the same time, in the same place, on the same bed
here, where we are truly together
of all the love I have for you
I am out here in this world, and not in your dream
So rest peacefully,
mon cheri
but do wake up.
Dream amazing
mia cara
but do wake up.
See the future, heal the past,
my darling
but do wake up.
For this is the reality where I am real
and you are with me
Here I can hold you in my arms
You can look into my eyes
And know until time takes us apart,
you were held by the real me
and I was loved by the real you.
