Poetic Dreaming

Poetic Dreaming

Surrounded by my henchmen

Cloudy coffee and a cigarette

Burned to a line of ash ignored

Lost in my thoughts of words

Somewhere in the ether of time

I hear your laughter

Knowing you are happy

Feeling your glow

Your face fills my mind like

a tune stuck in my head

the melody is beautiful

everlasting and sweet

I call out your name

As if in a dream

Feel me my love

I am your instrument

Play me, make music

on the strings

of my heart

So long ago

I was poor

having nothing.

I stole your heart

Like a thief.

Now I am rich

beyond dreams

Where are you

Come to me please.

Then I realize you are here

Next to me all the time

In a voice still panicked

And just a little too loud

I whisper

I love you honey
