Beautiful Dream

Beautiful Dream 

Like wings of a hummingbird

My heart flutters feverishly

My passion burning like fire

I feel heat where my lungs would be

From deep down in my soul

To the ends of every strand of hair

I quiver with excitement

Of the feeling of you being there

I close my eyes

And take you in

I smell your smell

I feel your skin

My fingers tremble

My toes begin to curl

My breathing heavy’s

My thoughts start to whirl

I reach out my hand

To touch your sweet lips

The thought of you near me

Makes my heartbeat skip

My hand swoops through the air

Like a hawk on its prey

I reach for you and feel for you

But to my hands dismay

There’s nothing there but dust and air

To grab and pull my way

I hold my breath and loosen my grip

My heart goes cold and grey

I fill my lungs with empty air

That’s cold and stings like ice

My heartbeat slows and the rhythm dies

And tears fall once, then twice

The hours, days and weeks of time

Cannot erase our love

That longing for your touch and kiss

Recreate all that I know of

My mind plays tricks, my eyes see you

I get caught up in what seems

The memory that I have of you

Creates the fantasy in my dreams

Even though I hate to wake

And find you nowhere near

If dreams are all I have of you

I’ll dream to feel you here.
