Our Dreams

Of late my love it often seems
that we cross paths only as the black cat
without luck
Love, fondness, adoration remain
but seem swept aside
by the concerns of the day to day
and there are times
when this bothers
the both of us.

Breathe
deeply.
Come with me
away
from this
for an hour
a moment
a lifetime...
in dreams we sail the oceans
salt wind whipping our hair
a thousand thousand stars
reflected in each eye
framing you
framing me
as we touch
In dreams we float on breezes
touch the clouds,
the moon, the sky
and drift
on wings of love
In dreams we stand on mountains
underneath the driving rain
and the wrappings of the busy day
disappear
as the rain competes with hands and
mouths and skin on skin
to touch
the closest.

Come to me
my love
and stand with me
breathe in the lilac blossoms
kiss the rain
bathe beneath the stars
and let love
have its way.
Work is done in waking time --
our dreams...
are ours.
