Drive

A Poem by Daniel Navarro

This is going to be my first post and I am very nervous about it. This poem was created based off of a dream and I think it a good one to start with

Drive

It was cool. A soft, sweet breeze rolled through the air.

You danced across my vision, as silent as the wind.

Your hair twirled and swirled around you, softly snapping in the cool air.

The sight of you was unfair, making me weak and unsteady.

“Quick, put your arms around me!” you shouted into the wind.

I didn’t know who you were addressing and I never found out.

I walked up to the porch and you stopped your dancing at the sight of me,

But happiness pranced a routine across your form that worked magic.

As I walked towards you,

“It’s always more than dreams, you’re the love of my life”

You took a step towards me,

“It’s always more than it seems, you’re the love of my life”

The windows were rolled down. That same sweet air caressed my body as it flowed from the sky.

My senses were dulled. Just the smell, feeling, and sound of your love filled me, and time left me by.

We didn’t know where we were going. You said drive.

We reached the end of the street. You said drive.

We reached the edge of the town. You said drive.

We left the world behind. You said drive.

We let a sea of stars blanket us like covers.

We fled the universe like fooled lovers.

I approached the edge with you. You said drive.

As we jumped from the edge and plummeted, a sudden feeling seized me.

In that moment I became all that I could be,

And my love was visualized, but only the heart’s eye can see.

For in that moment my soul was set free, given to you, from me.

It was silent, but a sweet whisper filled my soul,

“Quick, put your arms around me….”

This is beautiful! You've used such delicate imagery. I love how you've portrayed this kind of love as innocent and naive. This is a charming piece! Well done!
