I awoke in a fright
My fear dripping from my forehead
A clinched fist was all I could feel
Gripping together with a terrible might
It was surreal waking up into the this reality
So far detached from the one that was there just a moment ago
O how quickly the universe changes ones course
Distance only growing farther between the two
The dream started in a small home
Adorned with ravishing assortments of lights
Yellows and greens lit up the walls
Reds and blues twinkling from the window
Thousands of them covering every inch
Next to me was a flower
A flower with brunette hair
She had blue eyes that rivaled the oceans
She had a smile that would make god blush
And a smile so captivating
That poets could only dream of
By the grace of the heavens, she grabbed my lonesome hand
Sending my soul into a spiral
Deep into an abyss that burned with the light of a thousand suns
I swirled below the depths of my self, as fear sunk into my chest
But she squeezed harder
Just when I was about to hit rock bottom, a light shown through the darkness
Something brighter than I could ever have imagined
Blinding me beyond repair
For a moment, I seized to see
As my vision came back to me, the abyss disappeared
And once again I sat next to an angel, still grasping my hand
I tried to speak
Desperately wanting answers
But All that came forth was the beating in my chest
Foolish, as I knew the outcomes for the questions I sought
It had been inside me
Love
Then you showed your face with perfect clarity
Making me gasp for my next breath
An angel in my presence
An angel holding my hand with a gentle comfort
I had yet to realize how desperately I wanted to breath, but couldn’t find the strength
The urge to stare into your eyes shutting down my basic needs
Not even the greatest of men could withstand such things
Mountains in the sky would buckle under the immense pressure
And break away there foundation, from something so soft
It was then, that you leaned into me
Kissing me with lips that would make clouds jealous
To smooth to be of this world
A fire shot through me with just one touch
I shook, unable to move
Unable to fathom the love that took hold of me
How can a man, any man
Withstand a force, as violent as the stars above colliding
Then you looked back at me with those baby blue eyes
Soothing the fire inside me
Calming my mind and showing me something I thought Id never have
It was a simple enjoyment for you
But for me, it was seeing the universe for the first time
Then I awoke
And I wept tears for what felt like forever
NO, I screamed
This cant be, I have to go back
Foolish I thought, as there was no going back to that place
There was no going back to the little slice of heaven I had just dreamt
And I wept some more
One moment in time
One reality of many
And I could live one that I thought I would never live
So thank you
Thank you for showing me something I didn’t know I yearned for
One day, I know
I will find that slice of heaven once more
And I will never let go
Not again
