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

When you are awake you know it ... when you are asleep being awake does not cross your mind. A beautiful, poignant and wasteful write:)

I always enjoy reading your truly beautiful and romantic words, they sound almost sacred. I also love the quote you added. The line "dreamers waiting to be awakened" is so well-written, almost to the point of envy.

Ah... been so long to read you!!
Ebony nights? Oh hell, that's one of my fav. Lines. Liked the way
you have bled in such celestial words. Lovely title. It's writers life
that's oft. either being lost in the memories of past or laid well down
on the bank of love. Everybody is dreamer in this world but writers be
more than just... dreamers & you, my amigo, proving my words so right.

Excellent. Enjoyed reading it! Fav. To library!
