Dreaming of Love 2

Another day dies as I sit in a fallow field and watch my dream sprouting among the wild verdant weeds. The silence of the valley is soon broken as evening approaches and birds take their last flight. A breeze passes by making the wild jonquils dance, as the night deepens and darkness intensifies. Still I dream my nightmare, persistently repetitive, unending, heart throbbing, painful and agonizing. The dew impregnates the air, now I feel cold, breathless and solitary, except for my dream and the dark skies fill with starry glow worms. A coyote howls from afar, as on the ridge I hear a rumbling, a storm is gathering. I never had the courage to climb and explore the ridge. I know you will be there, lovely, dark tresses, pale face, abyssal seeing eyes. Oh, once I tried, but never made it. The uneven terrain alien, the rocks sharp and killing and the irrational fear of heights. The thread of my life seems to be ending. I lost her forever. Who knows, perhaps it's fear I might find you waiting there, all ravishing and serene. So, I stay on the plain and dream of you.

Love has its beginning as a dream, which stays real as long as you believe. A beautifully described love poem, Victor. :)

In dreams, anything is possible. Keep reaching beyond the stars- for she is there waiting to take your hand. Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. Hugs, Brandy

Without dreams, we have little to look forward to. ...I'm afraid of heights, also :) ~Angie

We've all had those dreams of longing for love, sadly some times it escapes us. Love the imagery in your verse Victor Tom
