Dreaming a Reality

The afternoon is slow and heavy, yet there’s electricity in the air.
I ring the bell, lost in thought, but jolt back as the expectant door opens.
Her sweet face and cute smile fill my eyes, as I step in.
She goes to a bean-bag, as I take up a spot on the reluctant sofa.
Our eyes lock.
My heart unlocks!

Lifetimes accelerate as eternity passes many times over,
The shy minutes tiptoe past, with a sly smile.
Unspoken words flow with the tide of emotion,
The warmth of a thousand fur coats,
As time freezes!

She smiles.

My brain goes nova!
I feel dizzy, as I swim through the sea of stars in my vision,
Her smiling face, like the brightest lighthouse, on the darkest night!
Reassures me, strengthens me, powers me and drives me!
I recover, and we start talking.

The day passes like a dream, interspaced with pauses of reality.
Her shy eyes, her loving smile, her sweet voice, her cascading hair,
Moments of eternal happiness, captured and treasured in memory.
It reassures, strengthens, powers and drives me,
And will do so for the long days ahead!

We sit there, talking, creating memories and moments of magic,
Emotion swirls, powerful and strong, wrapping and binding us,
For it is to keep us alive in the dark days to come!

I get ready to leave, the dream is about to end.
We stand at the door, frozen in time, locked in separation.
Unspoken words and feelings, an unbreakable golden thread,
Pure, unadulterated love and ultimate faith.

She hugs me.

Time goes unnoticed and unheeded, non-existent.
An eternal moment, frozen in time and memory,
As the universe stops to watch and smile,
And God blesses us with supreme happiness!

The time has come, I open the door.
And reluctantly walk out into reality,
With a vision burned in my mind,
Faith and patience, we will wait.

As the dream becomes reality!
