Goddess, the Fantasy, the Dream and the Reality

Goddess, The Fantasy, The Dream And The Reality 

Spent, exhausted with this heartfelt feeling that I must
journey forth, representative of cosmic dust;
I, stranded creature on this planet set to roam
in midst of strangers far, far from my hearth and home;
drift boldly into night's dark with defiant vow,
epic oath to live for her life, the here and now!

Recalling memories of dwarf moons and swirling storms,
goddess that once loved and held me in her tender arms;
eyes that shown with intensity of wanton desires
hot lips, that imbued in me eternal love's fires;
desperate need to live up to her expectations,
Hopeful I flew, into this far flung constellation!

On lonesome trails, haunting dreams invade my sad nights
nightmares, foes hellbent on stealing any delights;
recalled moments of her warm kisses and touch
stretching out of her arms saying, "Ï love you this much";
that smile, beaming bright as any celestial star,
her sincerely saying, "I love you as you are"!

Now lost, wandering through this world of colossal seas,
I, the traveler now issue sincerest of pleas;
with but one aim, to return to her radiant glow
race onward, with Time still and a fate I do not know;
should intensity of desire create a way back,
I'd never leave, my goddess in her deep forested shack!

Thank you my friend. I am pleased indeed that you enjoyed this baring of my soul and a great love that I so foolishly lost. I know not how many great mistakes of youth are made by others but I know I made many, far tooooooooooo many. And surprisingly survived to write about them and still find happiness, although quite late in life it has came.

Thank you my friend. I hope that I heaped enough praises on that beautiful lady for she was not only kind and beautiful but truly a very rare gem as well.

Thank you my friend. When writing with a personal experience I tend take even greater care to --try-- to get it perfect before daring to post the piece.

Thank you Chuck. Seems when I write about my youthful past loves lost, my pen finds better words and more beauty to describe those exceptional ladies.

Thank you my friend. I've been blessed in my youth to have met and woo'ed several earthen goddesses. BACK THEN MY PROBLEM WAS THAT I NEEDED A SAVING ANGEL INSTEAD.. To save me from myself and my too oft very destructive wild ways..
