Loving and Dreaming....a splendid pair

                                      ABOUT THIS POEM:

 The very first line of this poem came to me while I was

thinking about another poem titled "Inside Her Eyes"

for which I have yet to put on this site. The first line

of this poem just popped into my head and I took it

from there.

 Also to add to this, I wrote a poem in 1993 titled

"As She Lays Sleep" which deals with this same

subject. That poem I have to admit is an OK poem

but I do not think it is good enough to put on this

site. (It was only the second poem I ever wrote).

 And lastly, I want to dedicate this poem to my good

friend, Talma Xavier of Recife, Brazil. For without her

inspiration, this poem would still be a rough draft. I

sent her the first three verses of this poem and she

loved them. So I told her I would "give" this poem to

her. Mucho Gracias' Talma!

A dream so deep, is where you now abide

As you lay softly sleeping by my side

In a land filled with enchantment, is where you now exist

For you heard the call of sleep, and could not resist

I gaze fondly at you as you sleep

And ask myself "What dreams do you keep?"

For I long to be with you in that magical land

As together we face your dreams, hand in hand

To fly with you distances great and far

To glide with you through the stars

To help calm you from what you fear

To share with you what you hold dear

To plan with you your highest goal

To be the thief with you, as time we stole

To keep you safe and out of harm's way

To tell you things I have always wanted to say

When the morning light comes and you wake from your dream

Back from a place where things are not as they seem

You turn to me with eyes so misty

And say "Thank you Honey for being in there with me"
