My Dreams of You

My Dreams of You

I do not know you
But I dream of you
I see you on brilliant planes
Hair brushed by the wind
A smile forever touches your lips
And then I awaken
To a less brilliant world
A world without you

In my dreams
We stroll under the stars
Hand in Hand
You smile at meĀ 
And bring me from the World
And into the stars we soar
Forever as the freest birds
Dancing to the colors all around us

In my dreams I have always known you
My life is you
And your smile is what I live to see
And your soul to mine is made
Made to fit like our hands

When i wake
Oh how I wake
The world grey around me
Sick of being tethered to the ground again
A slave to reason and choice
Reaction and consequence

I want to sleep
To dream of you
To have you in my arms once more
To soar through the heavens
Our hands embraced
Never letting go

But how will I find youĀ 
If I am always sleeping
Dreams aren't always enough
I long to feel your skin
To see your perfect smile
Pleased to meet me
For the First time

So I wait
To me it seems with such enduring patience
I wait

Thank you so much. I seem to switch between themes of great happiness and great anger or self doubt. I wonder if this is a sign of being bipolar. lol anywho, I thank you so very much for your comment and your vote and I will continue to look forward to your new works and hope you might keep me in the back of your mind as well.Ā

Well I'm glad you like it Mrs. Wright. I often want to express themes such as this, but It seems that I have to wait until the right moment so as to not cheapen the authenticity of it.
