Imaginary Lover

Trancelike moments linger as I bid my time  
a glimpse of angular contour,  a face a smile 
warmer then the melting sun his hand in mine  
surreal in dreamlike state, his touch docile  

as gentle as the rain that falls from heaven's lair 
he, my imaginary lover my ethereal beau 
is a memorized forbiddance, together we draw air 
as we dance upon cloud nine without a care 

Unreal as the twinkle of a star in heaven's realm   
those hazy moments spent, devour me whole  
they take me to a shadowy place beneath the elm  
where we deflower every kiss, then lose control.

Mystic Rose Rose, It's no small thing your gift in expression. Breath a little easier when I finish your writes. You go to such fine places way up on a wire, walking.. without a net. -Richard

Lovely my friend. I think many have had a dream lover from time to time. Reminds me of the words to an old song. "I keep a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone." Well done. Hope you win. God Bless, JB
