I imagined you here today
Arriving on your black steed
Shining chrome and a high wax gloss
And here I am all dirty and unglamourous
But you didn’t care as you called to me
And my world fell away in a moment
As everything faded to just you
You and your smile
It was heaven and hell
For one minute you were here
The next back far away
Your real life much more real than the dream was
But I can still see you
Still I feel your arms around me
Your mouth on my ear
Whispering how you have missed me
Even though we have never been
A brief taste of heaven
The bitter remains
I’ve been reading Poemcrazy and Foolsgold by Susan Goldsmith Wooldridge and somehow her inspirations have helped me open up a bit more in the poetry department. This was written for someone who means a great deal more to me than I probably ever say. Hopefully he understands.
