saudade for the lady of my dreams

Saudade for my Dream Lady

Every day I wake up
Next to the lady of my dreams
I feel a deep sense of love
And Saudade overwhelms me

As I recall
the fairy tale nature
Of our 50 years together.

Ever since that date
In 1974 when she first
Appeared in my dreams.

When I first saw her
un that dream
I knew We were destined
to be together

That was our fate
We were soul mates.

When she looked at me
In the dream
Sparks flew from heart to heart
Eshimshonshim.

Bewitching me
Her love mojo working overtime.


Eight years later
She walked off a bus
And into my life
Becoming my wife.

For 50 years
I have daily
Recalled the dream
That brought us together.

The Saudade
Of our true life
Fairy tale romance.


The Saudade is a thematic genre based on the Portuguese word for "yearning," as described and demonstrated in the following links:
