I would like to thank Jeannie Minor for asking me to collaborate with her in the writing of this poem. She is very easy to work with and very accommodating. She let me take my time as I have been under the weather.. She is a dear friend who provided me with inspiration and support. This is our second collaboration and hope to do more in the future.

We talked of love and all the things we thought that it should be but never guessed we'd find the one so truly meant to be. With everything we've come to know of how we've sailed our sea, It's crystal clear our kindred souls want what you want from me. I know what you want from me because I want it too. When I hear your voice I know you feel the way I do. Baby just believe in us our dream just might come true. I know you feel it too, wanting what I want from you. Now I count the seconds till I hear your voice once more. Happiness and laughter fills the heart that I adore. Just to make you laugh and smile thrills me to my core. All my dreams came true cause you want what I want you for. Knowing you're so far away it seems so clear to me, these wanting feelings of desire feign auspiciously. Are we just chasing fantasies of never meant to be? How could two hearts so foolishly want what you want from me? The distance that we are apart Is only there to here Exhale a breath and I will start That soon, it will be clear Though they be but fantasies The want I want from you To make our dreams reality There first must be a clue I felt your voice inside of me And know you felt it too I heard the wanting in your laugh It stirred desire for you The dream that we both share and see Each color, every one When we sail back on that sea Will blend with setting suns The only love which I'm aware Has no space or time Once I hold you in my arms You'll know love of that kind Where happiness and laughter reigns And all the tears that fall Are tears of joy and ecstasy And we will share them all The only promise that I make Is that my words are true And if you need the want I want Let's sail the oceans blue Sail to each island that we see And share a fantasy So throw your doubts into the wind Cast off and sail with me an original collaboration from Jeannie Minor and Daniel Turner
