First Night Poem by Ronald Chapman

If it was only possible,
To hold you tight one more night,
As we dream of raining cherry blossoms in spring,
Falling in, beams of sunlight.

Our hearts fluttering,
Flying into each other's arms,
Dreaming one dream, never being apart.

Why am I standing here,
Gazing off into dreams from long ago, dreaming of you and me,
Living and loving in a beautiful place?

A place where cherry blossoms and golden fields of barley grow,
Where magpies, fly.

Traveling the great distance, to my past life
That only dreams make possible.
Bringing back love, from so long ago.

I love you!

There's nothing else I can do,
But, write this poetry of love to you,
Words that you will never read.

It must be my destiny, missing you,
Looking for you, among the stars,
Reaching out to you, each night.

Only finding a ghost,
Staring back at me, from my dreams.

Knowing of the possibility,
You are dreaming on the edge of distant shores,
Looking at longing lovers Altair and Vega,

Glancing into the future,
Dreaming of everlasting love,
Wishing for love,

Watching the impossibility of stars,
Remembering our first time,
Makes each night,
Bright as star shine sparkling in your eyes.

Standing beneath lovers Altair and Vega, each night,
Wishing my impossible dreams find their way to reality.
