Imagined

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve always dreamt there was a perfect love,

the kind that poets have written about and spoken

of. Where romance swept you off your feet,

driven by passion in a single heartbeat.

 

I’ve always imagined the most precious thing

that quenches your thirst like a natural spring,

to fall in love and to be divine, like the taste of a

blush bittersweet wine.

 

While poet’s pen and dreamers dream, this love

escapes me never to embrace me, I struggle with

the flow of this tidewater stream. Hope is all I ask

for, a chance is all I need, for if this love truly

exist then let all others supersede.

I like how there is a clearness in this poem. There is something incredibly beautiful about it..

This could be a song...there's your assignment...we need a new video of you with this as a song.

So elusive is the real, big, beautiful, thrilling thing - I've felt that way about two different men in my life, but hmmm, just wasn't to be. Your poem echoes the lament of one who's experienced it and longs for it's return.

Just beautiful, Silent Man.

ah...the universal lovers lament...we all spin echo's of this longing...and I have found this truth that one will find this perfect love...in the most imperfect of subjects...beautiful write Joe -DannyLynne
