Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

A Daydream

A Daydream

A daydream crashes into my deepest gentle night's sleep
holding sweet those memories I wish forever to keep
Of your sweet touch and beautiful, happy soothing smiles
those that I longed for as we were separated thousands of miles

Such visions I have of your beautiful lips and dark hair
so real I felt I was already in your loving arms right there
How well I remember that blessed night and following day
when duty forced me to depart while you had to sadly stay

Those parting verses you so faithfully read to me 
were sweet kisses that remind me of your parting plea
That I live to return to faithfully, happily marry you
as you wait like the thirsty grass for the early morning dew...Robert L.

Freddie Robinson Jr. August 15, 2020 at 11:20 PM Very romantic poem, Robert! I revisited this tenderly expressed debut poem. True devotion set against the backdrop of external uncertainty and turmoil makes this poetic offering a treasured keepsake for us readers, as well as your soulmate. I am always curious to see what each poet/poetess set forth as their firstfruit offering on PSoup. Yours was a delightful feast for the heart. You are a wondrously God-gifted poet, my dear friend. May love light your path in life always. Romantic Warrior
