Dream of Lightening
It was like a bolt of lightening
And at points it was frightening
It coursed through me like a stream
It felt like it wasn't a dream.
Decked in my work shirt
Looking down at the dirt
I look up after you say my name
I never head that you came.
My name was like music in my ear
When I looked up, you were so near
You took one more step forward
But your touch was no where near hard.
Your lips touched mine
And the whole world melted into a line
There was no space, there was no time
I was yours and you were mine.
We stood far apart
We stood locked at heart
We were connected by one line
Connected body to body, mind to mind.
I could hear what you thought
Felt what you fought
And still I didn't care
You were there.
We stood in that moment forever
Neither wishing for it to sever.
Both our bodies screamed for more
Holding back was definitely a chore.
In your head I could hear you screaming
And I didn't comprehend its meaning.
The passion I wished to follow
Was something I didn't want yet to swallow.
You pulled away first with a shout
It took a minute to understand what it was about
"Stop!" you shouted as you pulled away
As I reached out to make you stay.
It was almost too much
For us to continue to touch
My blood pounded through my veins
As I revelled in the imaginary pains
As I stared at you through the space between us
My mind raced as to how to make a fuss
But I could see in my own just as clearly defined
The plan that was in your mind
I don't remember what it was
Or anything after that because
I awoke with a sudden jolt
And this wonderful dream came to a halt.
And now this dream has of a sort been recorded
As much feeling expressed as can be afforded.
For it is hard to translate into rhyme
What was experienced in so little time.
This dream that for a moment I thought was real
I'm wondering is it my psyche's appeal
To my real world life
To act on my emotional strife.
