Connected In Their Dreams

They met each other in a dream one night
In the mist by the bank of the river.
When their eyes locked in their own embrace
They both felt a quiver

Each were captured in the moment.
The water hushed the trees.
Thumping hearts and shallow breaths 
Were carried in the breeze.

The gap between them began to close
A tip-toe at a time.
At the lightest connection of their fingertips 
A bright spark struck sublime.

They both glanced down at their hands
At the feel of irresistible desire.
They thought about what these hands could do
Their imaginations catching fire.

Their eyes locked again with lips curved to grin
They both felt a sudden rush.
She was a lady, he a gentleman
Yet their lust bled into blush.

He ushered her to take a seat
On a bench made just for two.
They took a deep breath and faded away
Into a hazy hue.

Though they enjoy it when they meet
In the fantasies of the night.
It impacts on the loneliness they feel
When such dreams take flight.

Each night when they settle down
The dreams they hope for evade them.
But when they least expect it,
They will meet each other again.

Thanks Joanna, it wasn't a dream I've ever had, I just was trying my hand at romantic poetry, not a genre I usually write so thought I'd try something new. Broaden my scope a little :-D
