Last
night I dreamt ~ We
strolled.... arm in arm down lovely paths running through a
beautiful forest, morning's sunshine warm upon us. And,
each step taken.... bright, lilting birdsong echoed amongst soaring trees, squirrels everywhere at gleeful play. We
were happy.... at peace, and the world was a soft, loving
place. In
every step.... we took together, I could smell your
womanly essence, as it blended, with earthy forest
aroma. Wildflowers'
faces.... all in splendor, turned... as
we strolled by. And,
we stopped.... just to watch sunglow on the leaves, in
treetop splendor. Your
back.... against my chest, my arms embraced around you, your
head nestled upon my shoulder... we looked upon God's
wonder. And,
I turned.... my head so slightly, kissed your cheek
softly, and whispered, "You
are the loveliest of all God's creations. We finally made it,
didn't we?" You
gently sighed.... squeezed my arms, and whispered, "Oh,
Darling, I would not trade the world for this moment!" And,
I awoke.... with a gently falling tear.
Beautiful poetry Richard. Strange that dreams can sometimes provide what our daily existence can't. Wonderful imagery and tender thoughts. What a pity to have to face the reality after such bliss.
Thank you for these lovely words and the superb image you have posted.

The day outside is overcast, oppressing heat, not the single hint of a breeze … but inside, enjoying your sweet words of praise, understanding, and relatability, exists a softly pleasant glow radiating to an olde bard's core.
Ya know, M'Dear? For as wondrous as life may be for the most gratified amongst us, dreams, hopeful thoughts, and imaginings are where it all began, what was looked forward to before they had it all, that which compelled them.
Besides, who has a choice in what they dream … I know mine come of their own volition.
Hah! Listen to me going-on … you always inspire me!
Thank you ever-so warmly and gratefully, Lovely Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard : )

It is a rare occurrence one of my pieces is reviewed and commented on twice, but I am more than doubly honored, my dear, warmhearted lady.
You've blessed my day with the most wistful smile … hugs to you! ⁓ Richard : D
"You gently sighed....
queezed my arms," ... I'm sure you meant squeezed.
I love the reverie of this moment, the breath of a dream on the cheek of day, the sweet tear of remembrance. Very nice.

Dreams can let us down, but oh what a bland world and life we'd have without them, eh?
Never give-up on your dreams … all great ideas and loves begin with a dream* ⁓ Richard ; )
You allow the moment to wash over the reader. You ask them to feel and remember.

You bring to life the lovers side by side where all hearts so wish to be- powerful emotions are stirred and you are captivated by that place in time where time no longer exists only in the depth of their kiss, stunning poem🌹
