Laguna Dreams

how i hold close the memories
the scent of ocean on skin
warmth of heartbeat 
the sound of love that laid with me in dream 
diamond shine on blanket of midnight sea
a promise of forever from wave to shore
holding close each wish of evermore 
how i long to be the breeze 
carried through the window 
by invitation of boulevard lights
sheer curtain whisper in certain dreams
that love have a place 
of telling and retelling each night 
my heart never sleeps
nor forsakes each truth 
that in dream 
and in wake 
my love, it lives for you

A beautiful poem that leaves enough unsaid to be interpreted as either fantasy or reality. To give meaning to words is, to me, the essence of poetry but to leave the reader left in thought pondering the true intent of the poem puts it on a pedestal which is what you have done here. Your use of imagery is wonderful as well.
