Hands outstretched, <br />Barefoot, <br />She runs towards him, <br />In sweetest of greeting. <br />After a long weary day, <br />She is his self, his anchor, <br />Brunette tresses bouncing to and fro. <br />Soft lips stretched in laughter, <br />She is all he never wanted, <br />She is all he wished to have………….. <br />Small face trusting <br />As he lifts her up, <br />His princess, <br />His perfection, <br />Who puts every nerve of his <br />In splendid elation… <br />“Dad” she chimes <br />And bends to kiss his cheek, <br />Before her lips touch his skin, <br />Before he is enveloped in her sweet scent, <br />A curtain drops, <br />He wakes <br />Pining for things <br />That could never be <br />Longing for her <br />But she never exists <br />Outside his dream………………………<br /><br />Lucifera Santez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reverie-44/
