Phantom Thoughts

Playing soft and tender dreams in the cinema of my sleep
you awaken feelings so long undisturbed
I become an enigma to the world, hidden unto myself
so near and yet so far, promise of things I miss

To savour every part of you, your scent so spicy sweet
the colour of your hair in the soft new pre-dawn light
sparkle of your eyes in playful smiles and teasing
in dreams you come to me, a phantom lover only I can see

I feel the warmth that flows as you lay in sweet repose
listening as you breathe a single whispered word of love
knowing that you dream of me fills my soul with a warming glow
two hearts joined in wonder at the beauty of our existence

 

 

 

Author notes

I chose free verse because it is the style which suits the way my brain puts words together and because I find it difficult to rhyme in an unforced fashion

    Thank your for your entry into my contest, your talent and hardwork are very much appreciated. I loved this poem, the background and the very image inspiring words captured my imagination and let it free. Great job and good luck.

    Your Host,
    Tiphanie

    p.s sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but it has been extremely hectic and all i have had time to do is study and go to class. Any way, hope you are well.
