A Taste of Darkness

A very short story

 

You are the one I have dreamt about ever since I was a young child.

Although I am much older now, I still dream of you.

During the day you consume my every conscious thought as well.

I often wonder if I have gone mad?

Who thinks of someone the way that I do of you?

 Some one I don’t know or for that matter, probably never will.

 

My dreams have now turned into tears.

I yearn to kiss your soft sweet lips, touch every inch your velvety skin and then hold you in my arms at night until the light of day comes once again. 

 

I lay naked in my bed with my head buried deep with in my pillow

until I reach the very darkness of my soul.

It is there that I will always find you.

It is there that I will finally kiss you, touch you and forever hold you.

In this darkened world you are mine and I yours, as alas we are together

 where our spirits meet as one.

 

Sounds of reality from the other side awaken me

and pull me away from you once again.

I put my hand out to you, hoping you will fight to keep me with you

and pull me back into your world.

 But you fade away every time, into complete darkness.

I scream out your name, but you can no longer hear me.

All I am left with now is the echoing sounds of my own voice

and the bitter taste of reality.

 

Tears begin to fill my eyes until they roll down my face

like a water fall crashing onto the rocks below as they fall

pounding down upon my heart. 

The heart where I will always hold you, until we shall meet again.

ohh this is both a story and poetry..how nice how dreamy its is from the beginning to the very end..
i remember as i loved you as a child..i really did we were young..
now i am old and i remember you ..the memory so strong i wish you so close..
sometimes i think i am losing mind..for i think of someone..years ago that i still want to be with hold
to touch to kiss to hug..
at night i keep thinking of you from far my thoughts wind and rewind..come back and forth..
see the light places in mind and the dark..and yes its in these dark places in my mind that i see you just like for real ..
the smile the wonderful face..just like i remember you..and i touch you for real we hug ..we touch each other strong
like one will never let go..all night..we play and sing and dream ..till day light..when light and life real life call for me
take me away from you and hold out reach out never want to let go ..but the daylight realty stronger ..i see you roll back to that dark place in my mind..and recoil to a small place where i found you..screams and cries ..so long until we meet again my love..
God what lovely write..how dreamers could be so creative

Amazing....I just read your poem and couldn't believe that I have a poem that is similar in some ways. I could totally relate to your feelings and thoughts in each stanza. My poem is called "My Lonely Pain" if you read it you might know why I liked your poem as well. Nice write.
