PORTAL TO HER DREAMS

 It's a sweet thing when someone truly knows your heart, recognizing it in a glance. 

It is a rare occurrence for me, but it has happened a couple times in my life when I have hit it off almost automatically with a woman. I'm not talking about sex or love or longings. I'm talking about connecting quickly in wit, and depth. At some times along the way I wanted to connect more deeply, but didn't. I left it in my dreams. That inspired this poem.


I lost myself for awhile
High in the hills
Of your dreams - 
It happened nightly

Wondered if you might find me there
And wake me up from your despair
Free me from wanting you beside me

I see you walking toward me
But then you turn away
Shaking your head forlornly

As your brow wakes to another day
Spreading out the sunrise
Beyond your dreamscape

I can only float in mind a few more times
As I watch you pull those lonely blinds
But I'll channel my way slowly toward you

And wait for just a little while, maybe
Get to see one slight smile
I think that might settle it for me
Create a distance 
'Cause I also need to be free
From wanting you to be near me.

I lost myself for awhile
High in the hills
Of your dreams - 
It happened nightly.
