WHO IS THIS WOMAN ?

Dreaming of someone but finding she is right there by your side all the time....

Who is this woman?
That comes to me each night.
Who is this woman?
She is such a lovely sight.
.
Seems when I close my eyes
She suddenly appears.
When I try to reach for her
Just as fast she disappears.
.
Why does she tease me?
With the things that she does.
Could this be just an apparition?
That leaves me all abuzz?
.
Her beauty is like a rose
With petals all in bloom.
I never get to touch her
For she hides behind her plume.
.
She always seems to leave me
With a twinkle in her eye.
She never says a word
This I cannot figure why.
.
 I just and toss and turn
For the rest of the night.
Keep hoping that I fall asleep
So I can catch another sight.
.
That never seems to happen.
No matter how try,
Ah ! but if I listen closely
I swear I hear her sigh.
.
Then suddenly I'm all  awake!
My heart now beating strong!
I feel some one touch me.
Can it be that I was wrong?
.
My eyes now wide open
What is that I see?
Is this the mystery lady
Lying right along side of me?
.
Yes I feel her warmth
And her body close to mine.
It's not an apparition
She's been here all the time.

I think that I shall wake her
And I shall hold her tight
Tell her that I love her
And the dream I had this night.
.
Yes dreams can be lovely.
They can take you far away.
But lying close to you my dear
Is where I want to stay !

An attitude of gratitude is always a must. Dreams are special. Aloha

[Kat Collins]

Beautifully poignant! You write with such romance and love. Why do we always take such things for granted? Never waste a moment or a breath! In front of our eyes could be the sweetest dream, if only we'd open them and actually see.

[Ruth]

So so true love! We all too often miss what we have oin front of us or beside us! Dreams are ethereal fun but reality...well...we seldom realise it until its gone! Beautiful work xx

Too true, very much advice in the vein of Stephen Stills.
