Sweet Illusion

As eventide awakens
Under our bower I lay
My pulse begins to quicken
The world vanishes away

As you slip into my dream tonight
Like a prearranged rendezvous
A sweet illusion to fill my sight
I close my eyes, it all comes true

To taste your lips is ecstasy
All worries are left behind
In this land of fantasy
Our movie plays in my mind

In our never-ending romance,
Our unique melody, crafted with love
Your touch so tender, full of finesse
'Neath the precarious moon above

Gallivanting forward in my dreaming
Eager to acquiesce to my heart's desire
How I long to stay sleeping
Of this dream I never tire

But he kisses me, nonchalant
As he gently fades away
Back in my memories to haunt
As night gives way to-day

Wow! Alesia, tender and poignant emotions haunt every impassioned poetic line in your write of bittersweet longings and wishful thinking (dreaming).. These feelings build in intensity to climax in your last, beautifully sad and moving, stanza. Superb, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
