Honoring Your Poetry...

I give it 4½ stars


I smiled and nestled closer
When you reached for me in your sleep
When you woke to kiss my forehead
When our silence ran so deep.
You were warm and you were strong
And a comfort to my soul
But that was once upon a dream,
And now I'm lying here alone.

I could feel your phantom hands
As they pressed into my skin
To smoothe away the cares of day,
Release the fears within.
And your warm and gentle touch
Gave the lie to your image,
But that was once upon a dream,
And you still cover your face.

Once upon a dream, we set appearances aside
We let our feelings rule us, and we felt that we could fly.
Once upon a dream, we spoke nothing but the truth.
Once upon a dream, I said many things to you

That in the fiery light of day,
You will ever on deny
And demand that I show evidence
Of a loving you-and-I.
I guess I should know better,
But it's something I don't show.
That that once upon a dream
Isn't one that I'll let go.
