I Live in a Book of Dreams

Perhaps, we are all just dreamers - O

I live in a book of dreams

It’s where I first saw her face

Sacred light in her deep river eyes

Sunrise scented sighs of summer

Where the wind was whispered wildness

She taught me to love the dark

Here the stars are held in deepest embrace

By the ebony night’s hush

And we journeyed on celestial illuminations

As everything was transformed

Even my name when it was on her lips

Became a prayer calling me home

She taught me that love is everlasting

And until you find it, you’re only dreaming

So perhaps, we are all just dreamers

Waiting to be awakened. 

 

Author's Note

“And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Great poem of Love. I am moved by the statement that until you find love you are only dreaming. Well put together. Waiting for that great awakening, True Love.

Twin soul... dreams prevailing at the best... only one moment do we enjoy, the moment of enjoyment, when we forget everything else... lost in dreams... lost in thoughts...
very good piece...liked it..

Thank you, Anindita. Yes, the twin soul journey is so beautiful and so painful all at once. I so appreciate your encouragement in my writing and my soul's whispers.

Interesting and beautiful. I love the thought of being a dream until one finds love. Dreams can be so perfect and amazing. Some dreams people never want to wake from. I'm not sure if I'm one of those people who never wants to wake from my dreams or not. I'm sort of in-between. I wonder if that counts for something.
It's a wonderful poem. Great job. The description is so elegant and beautiful.

I so deeply appreciate your words, and know what you mean about dreams. Some are meant to be secret places to hide, and some are meant to come true. One day. :)
