Upon your breast, I rest my weary head,
It is here that I’ve known no better sleep.
My vivid dreams cause tears to be shed;
It is my intense need for you why I weep.

Dream-seeds sown in the wintry cold snow
Grow into our spring-ripened milieu.
Near us lie slumbering, pink hills and endless meadow,
But, by far, the most beautiful sight to behold is you.

And so, we walk, arm in arm, heartbeat by heartbeat
Through my fantastical dream-world landscape.
Despite gorgeous scenery and technological feats,
You keep me in complete awe, a trance I can’t escape.

Then, you slowly begin to fade from view,
Evaporating into thin air right in front of my eyes.
I try to pull you to me, but I can’t hold on to you,
And you’re gone before we can exchange goodbyes.

I wake up with a jump, distraught about the lack of you
And realize that it was just my dream-seed.
I lay back down, more relaxed, ready to return to our milieu,
But I realize that you aren’t there; you, the one I need.

You’ve gone; I’ve slept for too long.
I’ve lived behind closed, unblinking eyes.
I made the mistake, committed the wrong,
And you left because of it, without exchanging goodbyes.

Mrrf! The scenery images from this are beautiful, and the poem's pretty, too. I say beautiful redundantly. O.o

Hey, I love this poem.. I want to know who it is about. But I won't pry... I love the way I can get a mental image of this dream. It's so vivid. I just wanted to let you know. I will see you later.

Hey, I am finally reading all your poems (if you couldn't tell). I really like this poem, and was wondering if you wanted to tell me more about it. Well, onto the next poem I guess. TTYL!
Love,
ME (Dorothy)

Yeah, that one was written to Alicia while she was gone to China. That whole year that she was gone was hell for me. Anyways, I guess I had hoped that writing these poems, which are my way of better expressing the emotions I keep locked inside, would win her back. But things have gotten complicated since then (which you, no doubt, know) and I'm not sure about anything anymore. Anyways, I guess this particular poem is about how much I cared for her, but also about how my caring for her was in vain; i.e. she wasn't present to bear witness to my affection for her.
