Awoke In Love

Someone once told me

Love is like a dream

 

Strewn rose petal pathways

And a delicate flowing stream.

 

Beautiful mountain tops

Covered with snow

 

Winds that whisper love

Everywhere you go.

 

Flowers in full bloom

Like a fairytale enchanted

 

A wishing well of colors

Where all wishes are granted.

 

A gazeebo twined with roses

Surrounded by light of fireflies

 

Clouds of cotton candy

That illuminate the skies.

 

As night begins to fall

The moon takes the sun away

 

Still as beautiful as ever

This dream will surely stay.

 

And soft as a breeze

My heart did flutter

 

For with every word he spoke

There not once was a stutter.

 

For I fell in a reverie

Full of pixies and such

 

When Love did talk to me

And whispered, I love you this much.

 

I love you like cherries

That burst in your mouth,

 

I love you like wisteria

That blossom down South,

 

I love you like dolphins

Love to jump free,

 

I love you like the ocean

Where waves crash gracefully.

 

I love you like a mountain

Loves to drink from the sky,

 

I love you as sweet gentle truth

That betrays the worst lie.

 

But as I crossed

The green hills so favored

 

It is that moment in choice

I will forever savor,

 

For as I awoke

In the morning divine

 

I saw all the beauties

In the bright sunshine

 

I awoke in love

And as I turned around

 

It was to see a smile

I have yet not found

 

For as love is as mystical

As mystical can be

 

It is my dream pleasant

That forever belongs to me.
