Floating free through a haze of dreams
My mind swims through the memories
of lavender scented sheets and you
Sleeping gently next to me
The world outside our door
Was so far away while we played
Like children on the playground
Laughing and giggling at life and love
Sometimes I still hear your laughter
While I am walking through the city
Alone on a street corner or in a park
But it’s just a dream, a faded memory
And even now thoughts of you linger
The way your lips tasted
Like a sweet apple just off the tree
as they caressed mine softly
And when it was over
I knew... before you came to me
It was time for you to move on
To a new life, a new world
What I would give to just once
To hold you in my arms
Feel your body next to mine
One last time
I still see clearly
Those hazy lazy love filled days
When we ruled the world
just the two of us free
Author notes
Each Stanza has one of the 7 senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, intuition, and humor sort of if you call laughter that. I hope this is what you meant. I have never been good with contests
