Perfection
I have breathed in your essence
And intertwined with your soul
I have felt your heart, beat
In perfect time with mine
Be it only in my dreams
But for now
That is enough
I patiently await our time together
And at the same time
I wonder
Am I dreaming of the past
Of a love and a life
Lived long ago
Either way
It gets me through
Every single day
My head hits the pillow
And then you are there
Holding my hand
Walking by my side.
And I feel it
All of it
Your heartbeat
Your soul
The essence of your life
That makes my life whole
About this poem
This is about a girl I bave had the same dream about, since I was ten. I'm 54 now. I have it once a week. My 22 yr old son read it and asked if it was about God. I got to thinking, maybe it is. In my dream, I never see her face. I see her profile and her dark skin and jet black hair.
