Sweet Illusion

As eventide awakens Under our bower I lay My pulse begins to quicken The world vanishes away As you slip into my dream tonight Like a prearranged rendezvous A sweet illusion to fill my sight I close my eyes, it all comes true To taste your lips is ecstasy All worries are left behind In this land of fantasy Our movie plays in my mind In our never-ending romance, Our unique melody, crafted with love Your touch so tender, full of finesse 'Neath the precarious moon above Gallivanting forward in my dreaming Eager to acquiesce to my heart's desire How I long to stay sleeping Of this dream I never tire But he kisses me, nonchalant As he gently fades away Back in my memories to haunt As night gives way to-day © 05/9/2018 New Poems (8 difficult words) - Poetry Contest ecstasy, rendezvous, unique, finesse, precarious, gallivanting, nonchalant, acquiesce Sponsored by: Emile Pinet

Wow! Alesia, tender and poignant emotions haunt every impassioned poetic line in your write of bittersweet longings and wishful thinking (dreaming).. These feelings build in intensity to climax in your last, beautifully sad and moving, stanza. Superb, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
