Days Of My Dreams Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Days Of My Dreams
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, January 30,2017

Reminiscing on those old college days
Passing each other in those hollowed hallways
She smiles, the most beautiful girl in school
Dreamt habitually of kissing her by the vestibule

Beheld my eyes for she looked incredible
She Mechanical, and I was Electrical
She is springtime in midseason
Perfection from conception without reason

Always with a friend so a verse for her I'll pen
She is a goddess amongst all men
My mind and soul she sets free
By a tranquil lake shaded by an oak tree
Still are the daffodil's by the sea I plea
Moments wishing it would never end
An angel Earthbound for we are the perfect blend
My arms I'll extend for her love this life I would transcend

With elegance and poise, she doesn't hesitate
No time for dialogue, she is off to class for she's never late
I would've given an eye for the chance just to carry her books
But I the shy guy everyone overlooks

So comfortable she is in her own skin
Her eyes take me places I've never been
For her affection, I'm trying
But to ask her seems so terrifying

Sensual, sassy, she is out of my league
To win her over now that is the intrigue
Approaching her I query a question
Gauging, testing to see her reaction

Butterflies inside for I'm feeling dizzy
Craving to ask her out if she isn't too busy
So I manned up and hurried to talk to her
Never the player but the hopeless amateur

She said, 'I'm sorry, but my plight is to toil each night'
In another space and time, it would have been sublime
At a premium the cost of my education
I don't even have the time for relaxation

Finally one day she took a chance
Seniors we frolic at the dinner-dance
Ecstatic I was to embrace you enchantingly
Seconds captured felt heavenly

For once the world appeared to disappear
For that very moment seemed to last year
Those moments I hold close and dear
For that instanced I had held you near

As fairytales told in romance books
Missed chances passing glances in the hall as we exchanged looks
Two vessels momentary in the still of the night
Curiously seeking never quite getting it right

Years pass I wanted to tell you so much
I dreamt each night of your tender touch
Coveting to hold you passionately
For I gave no indication that I wanted you desperately

Moment's share, a lifetime spent
Never truly knowing what it all meant
For I the magnanimous gentry with the foreign accent
Ponder I wonder where it all went

For everything old is now new
In an alternate universe, you were mine and I belong to you
The sun rises at your beckon call
For in this existence, I now have it all
