As I Dream

The night you left with our love's withered flower, the gloomy sky was falling down in strong shower. In the soft streetlight I saw your sodden silhouette disappear behind the rain screen, I couldn’t forget. The scene got trapped in the maze of my memory, weaved for years the tapestry of our untold story. I thought someday I’d unfold it in my poem new, the only one I’d dedicate to our times and to you. Memory has an ingenuous habit of making dream, appearing in vista of sleep, unreal they don’t seem. One night my eyes on edge of siesta see you return, the way you departed, made my mute heart churn. I open the door to let you in to embrace you again in the desolate dark night , pierced by pouring rain. I stand alone hit by the splashes of cold water spray, as I dream I hold you in my arms, won’t let you stray. ________________ August 10, 2022 Contest : As I Dream Sponsored by : Mystic Rose Rose
