Dreams Poem by Phiona J. Pascual

Into my dreams each night
you come to me
to touch my lonely heart
in ways I can never imagine…

Those loving words you whisper to me
they penetrate my soul
caressing my restless longing
for the love I never had…

But everytime I will reach out for you
to hold you, to feel you
as always, you vanish into thin air
then I will open my eyes…

These elusive romantic illusions
sprouting from my deepest slumber
haunt me all through my days and nights
leaving me longing for more…

In all the things I say and do
every place I go
silent landmarks of my golden dreams
follow me like persistent shadows…

Till one day out of the blue
you walked into my life so suddenly
wearing the most beautiful smile
I have ever seen…

One look and my heart knew
my dream has finally came true
and in that moment’s recognition
our lips locked up for all eternity…

Now that you’re here beside me
in the warmth of your sweet embrace
I finally found where I belong
in your loving arms I will stay forever….

Like in my dreams, we laugh and cry
together we will always be
since that day you came into my life
I know with all my heart
you’re more than just a vision of love in the night…
