Set Apart this Dream

Tonight let's be two stranded stars
Two gems sewn in the sky
Let's not explain to anyone
Don't even say goodbye

Let's lilt to each others humming
And let's sway to each others pull
The night is everlasting
And our wine glasses still full

Tonight you don't belong to her,
You're dust and gas and gleam,
Set apart this eve for me,
Oh, set apart this dream!

The light years separating us
are trifles, nothing less
Distance is a sinner
that does not wish to confess

But as the hours are drifting by
and we dance towards the dawn
Let us count one final time
those daisies on the lawn

Let's chant out loud all our 'what ifs'
Unravelling at their seam
Set aside this kiss for me
Oh, set apart this dream!

And after we have placed our wish
We'll fall back down to Earth
And wake up in our separate beds
Our separate home and hearth

And if you sigh ''it was just a dream'',
Remember what they say:
''A good dream turns to memory
and never fades away''.

your words must have brought me here... i was just writing, and then thought of you and came by at the chance you had written something recent... oh how one's spirit can feel so safe..so warm and comforted, so everlasting...

"two gems sewn in the sky!"

"the light years separating us"

"distance is a sinner"

"counting the daises on the lawn"

"set aside this kiss for me"

such dreams are set apart... into the folds of our awakening...

its been a while my favorite poet..

it was so worth the wait!

Your desires weave a world of dream fabric in the wanting, the aching of your soul to be found in these twin flame lights. Though one can feel the painful divide between you both, somehow it melts away with each line, each longing wish. And yes, dreams do become memories as real as any recollections of the real world. Sighing in the bliss here.

its creative! the beginning line and many others, the stanzas and story telling is unique.
