My Untouchable Love

At times, I can never tell when I am awake or dreaming. Maybe somewhere in between.

On a dark lake, the moon glistens as time fades. 

I find myself accompanied with others. 

People I have never seen before. 

We dance upon the dock and play foreign music. 

The air feels vibrant, energetic. 

That's when I catch her eyes. 

Brown Earthen orbs that reflect my soul. 

So full of charm and power. 

My chest tingles with a feeling I have never felt before. 

This stranger, it's like I know her. 

Beyond space and measure, she is the center of this moment. 

Nature moved around her as she spun upon the waters edge. 

Time stands still as we stare at each other. 

I forget gravity exists and my world tumbles. 

I feel my body enter a liquid state as I move through this sublime existence. 

I stare at waves above me as I sink. 

I close my eyes and wonder am I dreaming. 

I open them to see a perfectly sculpted face. 

If there was ever beauty I could not describe, it would be hers. 

The Creator of All Life put his talent in making her. 

He breathed air of magnificence into her lungs and in this moment, she did the same to me. 

Her soft lips tasted like pleasure. 

A nectar blend of fresh honey and lavender as she breathed life into my lungs. 

I come up for air from the deepest depths. 

She caressed me and asked was her darling okay. Darling. 

It left her lips with the sound of love and command. 

She held my face and smiled. 

Those Earthen eyes staring into mine. 

Possessing my soul. Stringing it to her will. 

My life was now her's, alone. 

She helped me up as the strangers gathered around us. They acknowledged our union. 

The fated bond we now share. 

She held my hand in hers and she leaped through space. 

I was pulled along in unison as she turned to stare at me. 

"Don't fear me." 

She whispered these words with a slight sad tone that reflected the look in her eyes. 

She knew I would never abandon her. 

As we fall through time, we hold onto each other. 

I could feel her heartbeat. 

The ever powerful sound of a loving heart. 

I begin to cry as I feel I will lose her soon. 

My earthen woman. She strokes my head and hums the same foreign tune I heard at the lake. 

It soothes my soul as we intertwine. 

I close my eyes and feel my mind slip into oblivion. 

I am startled awake in a room that looks familiar. 

To a sound that is the same. 

A tune playing from a cellphone. 

I reach over and turn off the alarm. 

As I sit up I touch my chest. 

It may have been a dream, but why is this feeling still here? 

Is my earthen woman a figure of my imagination or was I there? 

In another life. 

On another world. 

In another galaxy. 

Maybe I am someone else's dream. 

Moving to their accord and not my own. 

Regardless, I wish to fall back asleep and meet her again. 

Hopefully to never wake up.

What would it feel like to fully control our dreams and pull them into reality. Such an interesting and deep poem you have here. I think our hearts and our minds together have a lot to do with our dreams and sometimes the sunrise that awakes us can annoy us as well. Like the old saying, "I think therefore I am", I believe you can get back to that moment again and experience more great things yet to come. Wonderful work. Take care and keep writing. :)

Thank you once again! I think we have a lot to learn when it comes to the messages in our dreams. Maybe one day we will be able to interpret them.

I love this because of the trance of our dreams and how sometimes we can be left wondering if it is ours to be or if its truly something out of reach. Your writing depicted the sensation and environment so well I felt transported. I startled awake just as much as you. Wonderful subject choice and beautifully written. I hope you find your earthen woman.

Amazing! The depth in your writing is amazing. I love how this wondrous women was compared to the center of another galaxy; the sun. Each turn rocks the worlds around her. The transition from beginning to end was effortlessly fluid. I love this. Great read.

Great write. Your eloquent words spin a surreal tapestry- or is it real? Lovely form, flow, cadence. Enchanting imagery and description- your “earthen woman” comes alive. You give us much food for thought- “Maybe I am someone else’s dream.” Love this.

Wonder how many lives our bodies actually go through.
Wouldn't it be great if you weren't dreaming, but actually recalling memories.
Cracking write.
