Just a Dream

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON'S VENTURE
I UNDERTOOK A JOURNEY TO SEEK THAT WHICH I TREASURE
THERE HE WAS AND I WOULDN'T LET MY HEART PONDER
FILLED WITH CRYSTALLINE DELIGHT, MY HEART STARTED TO FLATTER

HIS FACE RECTANGULAR YET SCULPTED, UNLINED AND DELICATE
HIS EYES BROWN YET VIVID AND PALE LIKE A LASER BEAM
HIS SMILE RADIANT AND GENUINE MAKING HIS FACE SPARKLE
HIS BODY ATHLETIC AND REFINED LIKE GOTHIC ART

HE FIXED HIS EYES ON ME RELENTLESSY LIKE A TARANTULA
STARRING AT ME WITH A LURING GAZE
A THOUSAND DIFFERENT SENSATIONS CAME
WAS IT BECAUSE OF THE BREEZE OF THE SERENE NIGHT OR THE TEQUILA?

"I AM...", HE SAID IN A SOFT SLOW VOICE SO ALLURING
THE SOOTHING SOUND OF HIS VOICE SO MELODIOUS AND ENCHANTING
HE DREW CLOSE TO ME CAREFULLY REACHING FOR MY HAND
IN THAT MOMENT OUR HEARTS BLEND

BUT WHY IS THERE A CACOPHONY IN MY HEAD?
AND A PITCHER OF ICE WATER ON MY BED?
ITS MAMA WAKING ME UP, I COULD HEAR IT WITH THE SCREAM
THEN I REALIZED, IT WAS JUST A DREAM

Buhlebenkosi Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
