THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS

Deep beneath a glittering twilight,
a cozy warmth surrounds me,
as my heart melts once again,
and the violins in my head resume their singing.

The dreams from a yesteryear are reborn,
with a new heroine as the protagonist.
She stands tall from her low height
and sends piercing stares through society,
until she bows it down before her with her utter will.

While behind the scenes she softens
and a loving glow idles upon her face in soft repose,
As warmth and mirth emanate from her sheer existence
in the waves of a high tide,
washing over me and drowning me-
in a homey feeling of snug coziness.

And in my mind's eye I can see her,
and my arms closing around her
and pulling her tightly against me
as the night squeezes our bodies
entwined in an innocent, sweet embrace.

A yearning maw opens inside of me
as the visions dance across my imagination.
And a growing desire to make the dream real
expunges all other thoughts
from the myriad that inhabit my mind.

And all that's left
is the overwhelming sensation of love and desire
that I feel for the woman of my dreams,
whom I love more than anyone else in the world.
