Kiss the Wind

I lay down
A lazy Sunday afternoon
The first winds from the north
Blowing snow like a blanket upon our souls

I fall asleep, in a haze of dreams
Where there she appears and forgive the obvious
The woman of my dreams
Never undressed, mind nor body

Here, in my delusion I beg for her heart
Tears roll down upon her chest
I whisper softly, tell me, tell me
You are my twin, in coldness and the dark

Entwined, we breathe slowly in silence
Words have flowed like the tears of the past
I hold on, in love, in desperation, in ecstasy
I caress her hair, and whisper be mine

Forever

Then I awoke, another sad day

I was sure I answered the comments in this poem, but it seems not, either my wine is very good, or I am getting old, either way, thank you kindly!

All realities begin as dreams, so don't give up on meeting her, Arthur. Love always happens when we least expect it... I really enjoyed this beautiful expression of longing. Really great writing, Arthur!
