The elder poet

THANK GOD FOR DREAMS.

I awoke this morning and said thank God . 

Why ? Because she came to me last night.

Bringing  youth back to a soul that had aged many years.

Her youthful features had never changed .

 

I caressed her face. So very soft to my touch .

Running my fingers through her silky hair .

Naked to me and to the world . A world of dreams.

I ran my hand down the length of her back .

 

Down to the tender mounds of her hips .

Kissing her sweet lips . And saying I\'\'m sorry ,

For not giving her the life she wanted.

Our worlds were already made. Mine could not be changed.

 

So sorry for not giving myself to you . The way I wanted to.

Obligations that made my life what it was.

But never forgetting the look in your eye\'s when you looked at me.

For love was within them. Words were said.

 

Loving, Caring, Forever and a day,

I woke up this morning God . 

Thank you for letting me have this dream. 

For bringing her back to me even for an instant .

 

I look forward to sleep now .Maybe she will return .

I sure wish she would.
