I am Just a Dream

Updated on October 5, 2013

Like the eye of the queen staring at me

From her lighted square on the chess board

I see your gazing face crisscrossed in shadow

Peering at me from behind the trellis

Your fingers like the green ivy

Interlace and weave their way along the wrought iron framing

And beckon a come hither

But you cannot have me

I am just your fantasy

I see your finger interlace and weave along the pencils length

As you yearn to bring forth your desire

Your fingertip lightly touches the pointed lead

Amazing me that the dull gray can produce

Such beautiful script as roses red

Whose petals blend and caress your lips

As you plead for me to come nearer

But you cannot have me

I am just a dream

Tears trail a path to settle as dew

On broad leaves of emerald the color of your eyes

Which you close now as you lay yourself down

In a bed of baby’s breath and fern

And the tiny butterfly’s from your French painted nails

Flutter from your meadow in a monarch patterned web

To carry me on their wings to be laid by your side

But you cannot have me

I am just an illusion

So you take your pencil

The writers’ magic wand

And you push it into your heart

While the roots soak up your soul

And spread there in the sun

You allow your mind to let go

And create us with your own tale…


...A single shaft of sunlight makes its way through the canopy of trees

Illuminating a soft circle of light on a green meadow

Like a spotlight on a stage, awaiting the graceful ballerina to enter into its glorious halo.

A single Monarch drifts into the glow and pauses, enjoying the warmth

Until a wisp of wind catches her spectacular wings and carries her on her way.

Nature’s audience erupts into an applause of birds singing

And the wind whispering through the leaves

Causing the trees to stretch forth their limbs and gently sway.

Just outside the light we sit in shadows smiling as we look into each other’s eyes

Knowing that the love we share is true

Needing no audience, no attention, we need not prove

We embrace in a kiss as the light inches nearer.

That we are happy, that we are perfect together, time will tell.

Others begin to take notice possibly understanding the meaning of life;

Love

The light begins to envelope us

And nature makes it clearer


I want to wake you, to warn you

That you cannot have me

Because I am only a fantasy, a dream, an illusion

But now I know why

You entered my world with no eraser.
