Custer's Last Stand? Must this perfect dream die for the poet to find the love of a real, flesh and blood woman? Must Jealousy and Distrust always be the handmaidens of Love (whispering in Love's ear) in our fallen world? Say it isn't so! 

 

Here I sit once again, I’m dreaming of you, Even though I’m told (Frequently) you don’t exist. You’re my fantasy love, (Stranger to this world) With two parted lips Waiting for me (to be kissed) . We cohabit one heart So tight are we bound (No jealousy there) , In love choose to serve others. We accept that our lives In service to Christ Are open to all…. Who are sisters and brothers! We’re both fine with the fact, Our dreams come second, God’s plan for our lives, We always try to put first. Our passion’s to channel, Let God’s blessings flow, Through work of our hands, To hearts of those feeling cursed. Dear God grant that this dream Becomes flesh indeed, Our lives tenderly Merge in love to serve many. But if in Your Will, love Never comes to my side, Pray, quiet my doubts… On days in fact I have any.

I love this poem, Brian! It certainly speaks to my heart, and almost feels as if it flowed from my heart as well as yours. Great job on this!
