Sukiyaki: Autumn Dreams

These past few days it seems you visit more my dreams of springtime love, yet I feel the cold inside my skin I reach out to you, but wake up to a new dawn of another day without you. The autumn air seeps through the warmest sight in view I shiver then, I go back to those days again. Do you think the same, of frolics in the rain? Sweet memories will always haunt me. Will I have one more glimpse of you before our time trickles down our last sinew. Wishes still do come true, now I’m in front of you We’re still both young, bolder, more self-assured this time. Vague at the back of my mind, gasping, I push the thought aside. You’ve come to visit in my dreams. Wishes still do come true, now I’m in front of you We’re still both young, bolder, more self-assured this time. Vague at the back of my mind, gasping, I push the thought aside. You’ve come to visit in my dreams. You’ve come to visit in my dreams. ** It should be sung to the melody of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35DrtPlUbc SUKIYAKI Contest Sponsor: James Rogers 23 August 2015 image credit: Stafford Lakay

Hello, Kim and congrats on your win. I looked for a Sukiyaki poem from you early Sunday in your list of poems but somehow missed it. So glad you placed well and it is beautiful. It seems like the music conveyed the melancholy of loss to all of us. Is the music still playing in your head or is that just me? Lol .hugs:)) Jan

Your poem flows with sweet pursuit of romantic love, even in dreams it goes deeper into a genuine affection. It is clear from where the source of happiness is coming from. Love leaves a lot to wish for. 7 (^_^) Noel.

I am seeing some really great poems inspired by this music. Gosh, you did wonderfully with it. It must have a tinge of sadness to it. I really need to take a listen!
