"I Can Dream Too..."

"I Can Dream Too..."

I look at you and dream
...such dreams

 

the tastes of tomorrows
the whispers of wishes

moments not yet begun
and memories yet to be held

I can almost -

so almost it hurts...

touch

...you

with fingertips that soooo know

  exactly where they want to be

  exactly where you need them ...to be
  exactly where dreams fall short

    of realities that so breathe inside
    each "me" that we are, were, and will
    be.

I see each breath
pause
motion, movement

glance, blink, ...smile
...gaze.

Hear each tone,

growl, wisp, tinkling
wonder-full-warble

soul-full-touched-echoing

so-softly-enwrapped

come-hither-don't-dare

stay-back away-come-go

just please, so very please

  be near.

...seems even such as I
can dream...

of such as you.

Chris

what enthralled me, even awed me a bit Chris...was your ability to express your undying "love" for this special person (albeit, a dream), without once using the word....love.
I was always taught and followed the dictum, never to diagnose, but describe the symptoms, the behaviors....
That's what you so poetically and honestly accomplished in this surreal and ethereal write. I loved your descriptions and beautiful, whispers of metaphors.
It was like floating along with you in your dream.
Terrific job, Chris

Dreams and longings make the world spin.

[sharonlee]

Thank you.
Your words lifted me beyond the now
beyond the dreary walls and empty coffee cup
Beyond today.

I adore reading this side of a man's feelings & thoughts..tender and standing vulnerable... Beautiful Work Poet !

[Wendy Seames Garner]

Beautiful, filled with yearning - we all need to dream, but sometimes, it would be nice if the dreams came true.

[Shelley Holt-Lowrey]

Beautiful as ever... you just pour forth in words. A bit more from you who usually employs "less". Nice change.

[Michael G.]

There should be a sign above your door.

"Enter... learn how to become a good person."

And they would.

a beautiful piece of writing for sure - love the collection of phrases towards the end; 'soul-full-touched-echoing' is one worthy of keeping in the heart and mind.
Just one thing (hold back the knives from my throat fellow reviewers): I wonder if 'soooo' suits this work, it detracts from its slightly. Only a minor point for a major write.
