Dreams

The laughing sparkle of his eyes
the lilt of his smile
all signs, when I see him,
that just drive me wild
I long to be held
in his strong, tight embrace
I see love in his eyes
kindness written on his face
I dream of hearing his soft, sweet voice
as he calls out my name
and I dream that I smile
and call out just the same
just as our hands touch
my eyes open again
and I realize it was only
a sweet, dear dream of him

~ This poem was actually written for my friend Jodie, who wanted it for her new boyfriend, so don't blame me if it isn't exactly inspired. It's one of my few poems that wasn't mean to be a metaphor or a discription, but by the end I came to see it as a girl imagining someone she loves feels for her in return, but eventually she realizes she's only dreaming. Something I can most certainly relate to.
