At Last My Dream Came True.

Suddenly you are there

so close, just a breath

a heartbeat, away.

Time has no meaning yet

precious stands.

You carry my dreams

within your eyes my

heart on the palm of your

hand.

We speak, you smile and

ask my name...

 

       ~ ~ ~ ~ 

 

I want to shout

to scream your name

from the rooftops

where all the stars align.

Gather you into my arms,

hold you close forever...

For you to say you're mine!

 

        ~ ~ ~ ~ 

 

We talk and smile some more

then reality, cold and lonely

reclaims my world and we 

part, I walk away, but you keep

my heart.

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Finally after 50 years a 'meet and greet' with 'D'.

"You carry my dreams with your eyes" brings me images of a boat, sail fully opened and leaning gently into the coming evening upon a calm ocean. : ) Immediately following with "my heart on the palm of your hand" only aids that feeling of a peaceful voyage into hopes. Within this beautiful rhapsody, that is my very favorite part.

You're welcome. But I guess the relative location of the adored muse to you came right on through : )

It comes through, has always come through wherever he is. Just this time he was with me in a small room at a concert hall.

unfortunately not alone though, but together face to face.

No crowds, just a handful of people waiting patiently to meet him for their own reasons.

Yes,I will cherish it for the rest of my life, can't explain it, don't understand it, it is and always has been Don.

George Harrison, yes, Alice Cooper, very yes, David Essex even more yes. But Don..way beyond, a different realm

entirely. Maybe we were together in another life, who knows.

Who knows, indeed. Only time

Oh, it was forty-six years ago---meeting the person who became my First Beloved, with whom I had been aquainted for years, but never really begin to know until that summer.

That's a wonderful memory, you said 'first'  have you kept in touch?

Yes, and despite the ravages

Yes, and despite the ravages of age, the beauty and desirability that I experienced in 1976 is still present.  But neither of us can now act upon it.

I understand that, Don was a young man in his early twenties, he is now much, much older 76 next week, but age matters not

at all. I see the man I've always loved and he's perfect. sue.

I am sixty-four.  My First Beloved will be sixty-four in November.  Yet, the intervening forty-six years since our special summer together seems no more than three quarters of an hour spent in a busy waiting room.
