Dream Lover
I found you in the sequined studded milky way last night
as when the Sandman filled my eyes so dream-spun tight,
You stitched them with filigrees of the gracious gentle moon
to enter through the needle’s eye into my heart’s cocoon.
The wind caressed my skin and teased my wind-flung hair
when you crouched behind a cloud of cruised and floated air.
The music flowed from clouds and sang our echoed song
and climaxed on the puff where you now smiled upon.
You placed my right hand in your black night satin glove,
we sped on silver cords with our glorious light-o’-love
Where Elysium of sky waited with a tin of polish bliss
and shined for us the ballroom for our everlasting kiss.
I waltzed in nightgown’s flimsy white in your embrace,
as music ebbed and flowed you pressed your darling face
To mine and as we glimpsed the lives we’d shared before
sun and moon eclipsed and I could never love you more.
No words came forth to spoil our consummated spell
we spoke hushed words that all dream lovers know so well.
As you sped me home the silver cord turned to Godly gold
comets exploded a saffron sunset as I released our hold.

magical love!
Outstanding magical realism, Karin, such a pleasure to read. I especially love the lines: 'Where Elysium of sky waited with a tin of polish bliss and shined for us the ballroom for our everlasting kiss'
I am still flying n flying n flying n flying with the wings (that have just created with this work) of my dreams...And yes, I am dreaming still Karin.What a wonderful poem!!!Thanks so much for such a beautiful work...I especially love the 1st two stanzas.
Like Ency, I can't take my eyes off this poem and read it again and again;especially loved 'Where Elysium of sky waited with a tin of polish bliss'.The imagery is simply unbelievable and creates an almost epic feel.Thanks for sharing, Karin.
This magical poem takes me back to the black and white grace and ease of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It reminds me of my childhood when I dreamed that I could fly! Fantasy and romance and certainly your tour de force, Karin. Your words spin like the waltz that inspired them. Superb images, too - finished off with a 'saffron sunset' no less! love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
wow, if i had a dream like that, i wouldn't want to wake up anymore!! (but then again, i wouldn't have that brilliant ending!)
beautifully penned and lovely imagery. - Jay -

This is a dream write Karin ...absolutely stunning... so many of the lines shine out like "Where Elysium of sky waited with a tin of polish bliss and shined for us the ballroom for our everlasting kiss" and "As you sped me home the silver cord turned to Godly gold comets exploded a saffron sunset as I released our hold."
