Night Thoughts Part III by Joseph R. Forzano In the dark and lonely nights all my thoughts turn towards you, The way you walk, the way you smile and everything you do. Your laughter echoes 'round the empty corners of my mind, A sound of joy stretching through the realms of Father Time. A haunting timbre, a warm tone and yet so full of sorrow, A laugh of youth; a laugh of love; the sounds of my tomorrow. In my dreams I see you still, standing radiant before me, A semblance of true beauty, floating above a tranquil sea. As daylight breaks through the dark to shine down upon your head, Emblazoned, you turn and beckon me; I follow in your 'stead. You lead me away to a secret place, a glade that's warm and lush, A haven for two lovers, an eternal paradise green and lush. In the glade we sit beneath the cool shade of a mighty, ancient tree, Sitting there right beside you, the world unfolds for us to see. You lean towards me, your lips parted with a kiss you will bestow, But for me it is a kiss, the likes of which I shall never know; For in that instant my dream is shattered and I awaken all alone.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem about an ex-girlfriend. She was a girl I thought
thought I could be happy with for the rest of my life, but as you
may have guessed, it didn't. After we split I was hurting real
bad, and I just started thinking about her. Then I had a dream
about her, and when I woke up, I was alone. That's all there
was to it.
