Last Night I Smiled
Last night,
I dreamed of unfulfilled promises,
hoping they’d come true.
I let nostalgia splash coyly
about my consciousness,
as I walked the imaginary
roads to yesterday.
The twists and turns
of regressed journeys
skirted the surfaces of memory,
and I held tightly
to hazy lessons
and retrospective truths
finding meaning in nothingness.
I gazed longingly
toward energies renewed
and waltzed with desire.
The spirit affirming power
of revisited awareness
suspended my senses
in tantalizing expectancy.
I tripped
and softly fell
into a temporary bed
of broadening horizons,
and then I was catapulted
into some semblance
of tomorrow.
I landed
in the sun-drenched newness,
nearly unseeing in the transparency,
and I searched
for something familiar.
In the lighted obscurity,
I met your stare
and ran toward your embrace.
In the collapse of your arms,
I saw us
later
and now
and then.
Last night,
I dreamed of you,
and I smiled.
Memos from the Middle 
It would be hard for me to imagine that any of this is about me. If it is, I’m blushing hard as hell.
Keep blushing because it is! 🙂
i can only say it again! why not think of putting out a book of poems.
You’re the second person in a week to ask me this, but I have always thought that my poetry was my weakest style. Go figure, right? I’m going take this into some serious consideration. Thank you for the support! I really needed this today. 🙂
WOW, each stanza pulls you further and further into each word with a desire for more. Love it!
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful!
Thanks 🙂
I didn’t even realize I was holding my breath the entire time I was reading this. I loved it.
Thanks, sweetie! Loving that you’re sharing this space with me…Write more soon. I’m expecting big things from you. I would say no pressure, but that’s a lie! 🙂
