A dream.

[Guest thepoet]

I dreamt last night that we walked together.

A penny for your thoughts; we could talk forever.

I'd never met a girl as endearing to me,

as you shared all your cares and your fears with me.

You caught my attention; every word, every

sentence; and every single syllable mentioned.

I meant to confide that I'd dreamt of a time

our affections were destined, but kept it inside.

 

I dreamt last night that I held your hand.

I felt so grand I couldn't help but dance.

I felt so nervous it hurt. We were thinking in

sync, so we didn't need to murmur a word.

I whisked you near and couldn't wish for more,

as I whispered your ear full of whimsical thoughts.

You laughed and my heart skipped half of a beat.

I was far from a calm; it was hard to believe.

 

I dreamt last night that I kissed your lips,

and your cheek and your head, your hand and your wrist,

and your neck and your mouth at the corners.

More-or-less flawless, I thought you were gorgeous.

My palms were placed either side of your face:

I admired the mind in behind of your gaze.

I could float in your eyes for an ocean of time.

When you told me to hold you, I hoped to oblige.

 

I dreamt last night that you smiled at me,

so I didn't want to rise: I desired my sleep.

I didn't want to leave; no, I wanted to stay.

I was afraid that I'd wake and you'd wander away.

I opened my eyes and I hoped to find you,

but I woke up alone. My home's beside you,

and I'm homeless. When you aren't close, I'm hopeless.

You're my rose, and I want to be the reason you grow best.

I'm surprised I was picked, but I'm glad it was for this poem. It's one of my favourites. I probably wouldn't have had the guts to try if not for the incredible feedback from this community. Thank you all. You're too kind.
