There's a woman who dreams of me forlorn beneath a deciduous tree wishing to live a memory of ours that has never been, Just as I dreamed of her while staring at clouds before I met her. We shared a moment, of romantic wishful thinking and a spark of idealism which latched onto her heart with spidery legs after the flint was struck – But there was no more. And now, as I walk through life, there is a woman who dreams of me. |
Copyright ©2015 Ashi Shadow - 1/25/15 it's really also about how I dream of wanting someone too and of how they are dreaming of someone (a romance) of their past or fiction.
Inspired by thinking of past romances and "I have always loved you" Enrique Iglesias.
Originally the middle stanza (wishful thinking) was only a singular "her" and the poem was plural elsewhere about women, but I decided that between the audience and flow choices this worked better.
The line "but there was no more" was added after the initial write.
