Not Quite Finished...
<H3>An "Almost Steemy" *Love Poem* from a Dream I Had Last Night.</H3>

A *dream,* it was **only a dream**...

<center>
*Dreaming,* unknowing,
I'm holding a newspaper,
Speaking with *some girl* not clearly seen.
We're on the street now,
Now indoors.
It's warmer.
</center>
<center>
Why can't I find that piece?
Bordered! At the foot of a fold, it was!
</center>
<center>
I'm flipping through sections,
and *she*... she,
Palpably sweet beauty!
Gladly assists my frantic quest.
</center>

</center>
<center>
I lean over her to reach for another bit of print.
Hand brushes thigh.
</center>
<center>
Sudden, electric doubt!
News forgotten, involuntarily I pause.
Simple touch becomes light stroke...
Can this be right? Even in a dream?
</center>
<center>
Her foot replies.
</center>
<center>
Sliding smoothly along my ankle,
it instantly propels me beyond resistance.
</center>
<center>
All hope is lost...
</center>
<center>
My alarm sounds.
Any possible resolution, now only imagined.
</center>

>All hope is lost?

no way - there are three things that would outlive this world - HOPE, peace and faith - of all things - acquire faith - so I heard from one wise man.

anyhow I like the poem
and I made it on time :)

Thank you very much, My Dear! ;) :) And, did your wise man possibly mean this verse?:
>*"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."* - **I Corinthians 13:13**

@creatr · 
Thanks for your encouraging comment. I actually don't (usually) have very good dream recollection... More usually, my dreams "evaporate" within minutes of waking...

Recently, I've been reading dream reports from @alexbeyman and perhaps that has encouraged me to better recall... ;)

beautiful poem, creatr - it reminds me of my first story on here, Lucinda in dreams - but maybe I shouldn't encourage you into lucid dreaming ha ha

yeah...I didn't want to mention it b/c it would make me look needy - like I need your approval on what I write...but strangely, I do. I respect your judgment, creatr. Friends like you are what keeps people on this site :)

Well, don't despair, you can always re-visit the `dream'. Did you know that dreams are real and life as we know it is an illusion?  Following, loved it.

I remember my first date with my husband. His hand accidentally brushed mine and I felt butterflies in my heart. I only felt that sensation when riding horses that were spooky. Butterflies are gone now after years of living together but something better has taken the butterfly's place. We are now best friends and my fondness for him is feels like cool silk rather than a bursting heart!
