I loved you for just one more night
You came in that dream after our journey
–the long one walking apart
Off-guard
Edginess in our exchange
Expectation maybe fog
Night-wine seven candles two glasses
Utopian hours dismissed distance
unrestrained ecstasy
Though it ends again

How sad that it ends again. Maybe more wine and conversations? Thanks for joining us for our 5th anniversary celebration.
Happy to join the celebration. 🙂
More wine and conversation are not an option, I guess. The nature of dreams is that they end, even if they feel real.
I’ve had dreams like this one. So real that makes you feel a long forgotten love as if new again.
That sense of reality… The strange remembrance after waking up, is part of the appealing of vivid dreams.
I think I may have lived this dream at least once. Strange how love can endure even past reality…maybe it is just the wine?
So sad when dreams are what seems the most blissful thing… it’s better when we find it in reality
Bitter-sweet.
Dreaming of an old love and once again…it ends. Gives one such an odd feeling when one awakens and moves about the new day. I wish for you a love that isn’t a dream or that ends.
Such poignant remembrances…short-lived love.
unrestrained ecstasy – love it! All good things must come to an end, unfortunately – beautiful poem!
The dream that ends again leaving us brokenhearted yet again…torture. Well said.
