"I Can Dream Too..."

"I Can Dream Too..."

I look at you and dream
...such dreams

 

the tastes of tomorrows
the whispers of wishes

moments not yet begun
and memories yet to be held

I can almost -

so almost it hurts...

touch

...you

with fingertips that soooo know

  exactly where they want to be

  exactly where you need them ...to be
  exactly where dreams fall short

    of realities that so breathe inside
    each "me" that we are, were, and will
    be.

I see each breath
pause
motion, movement

glance, blink, ...smile
...gaze.

Hear each tone,

growl, wisp, tinkling
wonder-full-warble

soul-full-touched-echoing

so-softly-enwrapped

come-hither-don't-dare

stay-back away-come-go

just please, so very please

  be near.

...seems even such as I
can dream...

of such as you.

what enthralled me, even awed me a bit Chris...was your ability to express your undying "love" for this special person (albeit, a dream), without once using the word....love.
I was always taught and followed the dictum, never to diagnose, but describe the symptoms, the behaviors....
That's what you so poetically and honestly accomplished in this surreal and ethereal write. I loved your descriptions and beautiful, whispers of metaphors.
It was like floating along with you in your dream.
Terrific job, Chris

I can really feel this one Chris. For the unrequited love that has passed through our life, and unbeknownst to them, have forever changed us.

Welcome to WC... and thanks for pausing with me.

Oooh, brilliant as ever, I loved the end...
" even such as I could dream of such as you"

[Mackenzie Brooke]

I very much enjoyed this its romantic and tender. I think we have had those feelings of wanting and dreaming. Hope is one of the few things in this life that we can always have no matter what.
Really fantastic job :)

Amazing. So romantic, and yet so hopeless as you only dream of closeness. Most of us knows how it feels to fantasize or day dream, but I think my favorite part of this is where you are so well worded in your struggle to keep it in said fantasy without losing it. The perfect distance.

Such a delicate, beautiful poem, tender and more. The core for me is in these few words, 'I can almost - so almost it hurts... touch ... you '

[lei]

Dreams exists because we hope.. i love this!

[Ed Hart]

"so almost it hurts"...branded again

[Aeternal Oceanfire]

Beautiful! Dreaming and hoping are two of the most important feelings in the world and often are constant companions of love.

Dreams and longings make the world spin.
