CITY OF DREAMS

CITY OF DREAMS

A Poem by Caleu Andrade
"

Everyone has a place they can say gave them life,beauty and love this is my place (Seattle)

"

WITH YOUR LIGHTS YOU LOVED ME.
WITH YOUR SOUND YOU TOUCHED ME.
WITH YOUR CROWDS YOUR COMFORTED ME.
WITH YOUR SMELL YOU AWOKE ME.
IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT I CALL OUT YOUR NAME.
WHEN IT RAINS MY HEART FEELS YOUR PAIN.
LIFE,BEAUTY, ACTION AND FIRE WAS WHAT YOU WERE TO ME.
ENDLESS NIGHTS TUCKED DEEP WITHIN YOUR CITY WALLS I WOULD PLAY.
MY INNER DESIRES WOULD SLOWLY CREEP FROM MY GLASS AND ONTO THE DANCE FLOOR.
THESE DAYS I'M OUT OF TUNE.
THESE DAYS I'M OUT OF TOUCH.
THOSE DAYS WERE THE DAYS.
THOSE WERE THE MOMENTS.
WHEN YOUR GREAT PEOPLE WOULD NESTLE THEIR HEADS INTO YOUR WARM ARMS.
EVER SO CHANGING.
EVER SO ENDURING.
YOU ARE MY LIFE, MY LOVE.
MANY HAVE COME BEFORE YOU BUT NONE WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO YOU.
THE WAY YOU SOOTHED MY ACHEING HEAD ON THOSE LONG DRIVES CROSS YOUR SOFT CURVES AND WAVEY
WASTE.
THEY CLAME TO KNOW YOU.
THEY CLAME TO HAVE HEARD YOU SPEAK.
WITH THEIR LIES THEY TRAMPLE YOUR SPIRIT.
BUT YOUR TRUE.
YOUR REAL.
AS REAL AS THE BLOOD FLOWING FROM MY OPEN VIENS YOUR REAL.
WITH YOUR EYES PEERING FROM BEHIND YOUR SNOW CAPPED CHIN YOU GAVE ME LIFE.
AND NOW I CRY FOR YOU.
LONG FOR YOU.
NEVER ENOUGH.
NEVER SATISFYING YOU CHANGED ME .
I CAME IN FROM THE DARK ONLY TO BE THROWN INTO THE LIGHT.
THROUGH YOUR TWENTY STORIES ARMS YOU WOULD CRADLE ME WHEN MY NIGHTS WERE COLD.
TOUCH ME ONCE MORE.
KISS ME FOR THE LAST TIME.
TELL ME YOU LOVED ME AND WILL MISS ME.
FOR YOUR WORDS MAKE ME STRONG.
ONE DAY.
SOME HOW.
I WILL SLEEP IN YOUR ARMS.
BUT FOR NOW YOU'LL BE A FANITSY FOR YOU ARE MY CITY OF DREAMS
