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 gray 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. - - -  unknown
